Dan:
A drill would work just as well as a reamer.

Subject: [7x12minilathe] Re: through bore
This is probably a stupid question, buy why is a reamer used for this
operation and not a drill? All that is done is to open up the hole.
An exact concentric hole is nice, but is it really necessary? The
idea is for a 3/4 inch rod to pass thru.
There is probably a good reason, but my "hammer and screw driver as a
prybar" mentality is not seeing it.
Thanks in advance,

there's something for "Al's Reamer", since it was Varmint Al who
started the whole thing. There are a couple of reamers circulating
around from user to user. Chris (of LMS fame) provides adult
supervision to keep things moving.
