Re: Step by Step Hole Reaming Instructions

I'd recommend a drill that's 1/64th under, and when you run the reamer, go slow RPM. To get a press fit, you'll need a reamer that's about a half-thou under size. Or, don't rely on press fits.

One trouble you'll have is finding reamers in those sizes with a 1/2" shank.

You might also consider looking into TCT hole cutters in those sizes.
