I've always generally cursed when it was time to get out the expansion reamer to try to do final fitting on a hole. Reaming low carbon steel can be a real biatch, what with the reamer exhibiting a continual tendency to stick, forcing you to pull it back, curse, and try again. This might take as many as 20 to 30 curses, per hole, and can quickly exhaust one's supply, and creating the nuisance of shopping for new expletives
So I thought instead of using my cordless drill, in screw drive mode, with the slip clutch purposely set loose, so it wouldn't break the reamer (I was using a 3/8" reamer at the time). With comparative continuous progress, I was able to quickly rattle and work the reamer through the holes quite quickly, and without gouges and scoring.
