Reaming is the process of enlarging a hole or a bore to an exact diameter. Reaming can also be used to smooth out a hole or a bore. The tool used for reaming is called a reamer. Reamers are fluted, edge cutting tools that come in two flavor -- machine/chuck reamers and hand reamers. Machine/chuck reamers can be used in lathes, drill presses and screw. Hand reamers have a square drive and can be turned with a wrench.
