🔍 Key Concepts

• Reaming process – how a reamer actually cuts metal compared to a drill • Cutting edges and flute direction – which way they are designed to remove material and chips • Difference between tool damage, chatter, and hole size change

💭 Think About

• When a reamer is turning in the proper direction, what part of the tool is doing the cutting and what happens to the chips? • If you reverse the rotation while the cutting edges are still engaged in the metal, what part of the tool contacts the work and what could that do to the cutting surfaces? • Which of the answer choices describes a direct, immediate risk to the reamer itself rather than to the hole or the holding tool?

✅ Before You Answer

• Focus on what a reamer is designed to do in one direction only and what that implies about the cutting edges. • Ask yourself which option is the most immediate and probable consequence of reversing direction before the tool is free. • Eliminate any choice that sounds more like a long‑term effect on the hole size rather than an instant effect during a partial cut.
