    Reamers are used to produce accurate sized holes with surface finishes that are typically smoother than drilling or boring. A typical reaming job involves drilling or boring the hole to be sized leaving two – three percent of the finish diameter for reaming.

    When I built the nozzle for the extruder which was smaller than the 1.75mm for the filament it will be making the area that I drilled through was so short that I am not sure reaming would do enough to be actually noticed.

    Could be wrong but I would venture to say drilling is all that is done.
