Chips ahead and behind reamers are commonly used to obtain very tight ID bore sizes. Drilling an initial hole .015" - .030" under the desired finished diameter yields the perfect amount of material to be removed with this type of tool. The result is a hole size to .0002" in diameter and finishes to 16 RMS or better in a single pass, usually eliminating the need for honing.
Solid carbide tip reamers are available in most diameters and lengths to produce close tolerances, eliminating the need for honing.
