I have been an engineer for more years than I care to remember but have never had call to ream out anything or scrape anything other than a bearing shell on large engines.

Now retired I am taking up model engineering and have been reading MEW for a few months. My impression and appreciation of MEW grows each month! But I have noticed everyone seems to ream out a hole instead of just drilling or boring it which is new to me, and my reaming tuition was too long ago to be remembered. Ditto re scraping techniques on flat surfaces like lathe beds.

I, and I suspect many others, would appreciate an article or two on a beginners guide to reaming and on scarping in a future issue of MEW. Would there be a chance of that perhaps?

Hi There

An article on reaming would be welcome if anyone would like to write it.

Also one on scraping.
