Does anyone know where I can get a really good socket reamer to use on the barrel sockets? I need something that will leave the socket absolutely straight up and down so there is no wobble. Thank you for any help.

I think the solution is widening the cork on the mouthpiece and the upper joint. Often the cork isn't wide enough, causing the wobble. It should solve your problem, without spending any money on reamers.

I think Ferree's and other specialists carry socket reamers with a pilot that fits in the barrel bore to ensure the socket is reamed concentric with the bore.

How are you determining that the wobble is coming from the socket and not the tenons? Are you finding that more than one barrel is wobbling?

He wants to use a reamer that doesn't wobble when it's cutting.
Whatever you do (and this applies to everyone), please don't leave barrels looking like the one in the attached photo. It's not clear in that photo, but the socket ring is sitting proud of the top of the barrel socket by around 0.5mm.
