What will be drill size for reaming a 10 mm hole, if undersize is 0.2 mm and oversize is 0.05 mm

  • A.9.75 mm
  • B.10.25 mm
  • C.9.8 mm
  • D.9.85 mm

Answer: A

The drill size is 9.75 mm.

Before reaming, the hole is drilled smaller than the finished size to leave a reaming allowance. Using the workshop formula

\[ \begin{aligned} \text{drill size} &= \text{reamed size} - (\text{undersize} + \text{oversize}) \\ &= 10 - (0.2 + 0.05) = 9.75\ \text{mm} \end{aligned} \]

9.8 mm subtracts only the undersize and leaves out the oversize a drill tends to cut. 10.25 mm is larger than the reamer, which would leave nothing to ream, and 9.85 mm subtracts the difference of the two allowances (0.2 − 0.05) instead of their sum.
