Useful Reamer Sizes?

[David Paule]

Also add a #19 reamer for those #8 screw holes.

The reason to use close tolerance bolts is just that, the pecs are going to be tighter. Don't assume a 5/16 AN bolt is going to be exactly 5/16. I would mic the bolt and see what size it is exactly then ream accordanly.

I have a few reamers.

I don't recall a single time that I used a reamer on my slow build 7A.
It has been 10 years though.

Do the plans mention a reamer anywhere?

OK, I'll answer my own question. I have the plans on CD and just did a search for the word "reamer".
It shows up 5 times. Only twice in the the actual details of the plans. Both times are when building a tip-up canopy.
And one of those times it goes on to say a drill would be ok if you don't have a reamer :-)
I built a slider :-)
