a reamer is a cutting edged tool. some are adjustable and some are for
specific operations. like one i have for harley wrist pin bushings is a
specific operation tool. a emry paper type of operation tool would be for
polishing a non precision hole as it wil not afford a precision finish on
the hole from 1 end to another . most king pin bushings are reamed to a
hand fit by a machinist. unless you posess a "factory" reamer that is
designed to do only (let's say) sprite king pin bushings. then it would be
a one pass operation and it would already be the correct tolerance for a
"factory" fit ready for assembly.
