Spoken like someone who reads a textbook rather than someone who learns in a machining job shop how to use a drill to get the job done because time is money.



There is often no reason to ream or bore a hole.


Spoken like someone who can not comprehend the written word. John said "If you require precision holes". You must consider precision as being within a few thousandths. But if you are building a model engine, drilling holes is not going to hack it.
