Having an issue with my holes coming out too large in the lathe when I try to ream them. I am trying to make a 3/32" hole in a piece of 1045 that has an OD of 3/8". What size hole would you guys drill for a .1562 reamer and then what feeds and speeds would you run as a starting point? I am going to try some small bars as well but this SHOULD work, so I at least want to know that I can make it work, whether it is the best option or not. I have checked the holder and it is on center. Thanks. For what it's worth I am seeing a hole that is about .0005-.0006" large.
