Hey all
Quick question
I was planning on drilling my wing skins with a #40 reamer because i like the nice hole it leaves.
I found the following.
My #40 reamer is leaving a hole that is about .005 bigger then a #40 drill bit?
Has anyone seen this?
Is it typical that a reamer is actually slightly oversized?
It says #40 printed right on the reamer. I put a mic on it and it says about .102 or so but with some error depending on how you hold it.
A #40 drill bit mice out to about .094
What am i doing wrong here?
Is there anything wrong with going to a #41 reamer?
