Reaming
Also called reamed hole, finish reaming
This entry has not been translated yet and is shown in English.
Finishing a drilled or bored hole with a multi-fluted tool that removes only a few thousandths, producing a precise diameter and a smooth wall. A reamer follows the hole it is given; it cannot move one. Ream for size and finish, bore for position — confusing the two produces a beautiful hole in the wrong place.
