have it your way ........but single point cutters dont chatter dig in like that ... you dont use a .22 cal buffalo shooting do ya....... occasionally in engineering it pays to use the correct tooling , an adjustable multi flute hand reamer is not the correct tool , not in my experience anyhow... im sure some guys have managed using a razor sharp or new adjustable hand reamer and got away with it ...but even a blind squirrel gets a nut sometimes

oh and by the way ........if you try a hand reamer on the original mystery alloy which is very soft you WILL have a problem.. it will deform rather than cut ...its a bit like trying to thread copper it can be done with the right tooling but only with the right tooling
