Default Need Info On Reamers

Oh, I forgot to mention:

In my experience, steel tubing tends to run a little larger than the
nominal size. Commercial steel tube (the 1/16" wall stuff from the
hardware store) tends to run around 0.020" over, 4130 tends to run
about 0.010" over. That can make a big difference in hole clearances.
