Etymology

The term 'reaming' originates from the late Middle English word 'remian', which itself is derived from Old English 'remian' meaning to increase or enlarge. Its usage in machining and woodworking came about as the need for precise hole dimensions became more critical in industrial applications. The tool known as a reamer has been in use since at least the 19th century, as advancements in manufacturing technology allowed for more sophisticated methods of hole preparation. Today, reaming is an essential part of the manufacturing process, ensuring that parts fit together seamlessly and operate efficiently.
