Greetings, A more consistant result can be had when using a bit as a reamer if the cutting edges are removed from the bit's tip as well as dulling the first inch or so of the flutes. This allows the bit to center itself in the hole before cutting commences, make for a much more consistant sizing. Regards, Ed Foote RPT
