REAMING Meaning and
Definition
-
Reaming is a machining process commonly used in metalworking to enlarge and refine the drilled hole in a workpiece. It involves the use of a tool called a reamer, which is often a cylindrical cutting tool with multiple cutting edges.
The reaming process begins after a hole has been initially drilled to a certain diameter. The reamer is then guided into the drilled hole, and as it rotates, the cutting edges scrape away small amounts of material from the hole's internal walls. This gradual removal of material helps to enlarge the hole, improve its roundness, and create a smoother finish.
Reaming is generally employed when a higher level of precision is required for the hole's dimensions, surface finish, or alignment. It can also be used to remove any irregularities or burrs left behind by the drilling process.
The choice of reamer depends on factors such as the desired hole size and tolerance, the material being worked on, and the required level of surface finish. Reaming can be performed manually using hand tools or automatically using machines known as reaming machines.
In summary, reaming is a machining process that uses a cutting tool called a reamer to enlarge and refine a drilled hole, improving its dimensions, roundness, and surface finish.

Etymology of REAMING
The word "reaming" originated from the Middle English "remen", which meant "to make room". It can be traced back to the Old English word "hremman" or "hrēman", meaning "to open up". The word later evolved into the noun "reem" in the 17th century and then into the verb "ream" in the early 19th century, having the specific meaning of enlarging or widening a hole by removing material. The term expanded to include its modern definition, referring to the process of using a tool called a reamer to shape and finish a hole accurately in metalworking or machining.
