Neil, would it be simpler/easier to maybe produce a lap to the same dimensions as the axle taper, and use that to lap it in pre lapping to the axle. maybe in aluminium, or some other softer material. that or an other wise unusable axle shaft, perhaps one with a damaged thread or something. I don't think you will find the ideal reamer, and if you had to have one made it really would cost a fortune.
