It does the job very well. I had to do a couple of chromed frames with it (this is not good for the tool) but it still faces other frames cleanly and doesn't chip the paint down the sides of the head tube.
There are no instructions with it so you have to know what you're doing. Basically, never turn it anti-clockwise, lubricate well with cutting oil and use three or four turns to add pressure after the locating cone first makes contact. For the best finish, take the pressure down to a minimum and turn the tool gently a couple of times - it shouldn't bind or judder at all.
I have also cut two forks down from 27.0 to 26.4 with the Cyclus crown race tool and that worked brilliantly.
Thanks - very useful reply.
Do you know the Cyclus code of the separable 'reamer' you have?
