Question about reamer

[naokuronao]

Hello,

 

I have a question with the reamer that came with the Thermaltake bending kit. Do I need to use both sides of the reamer when I'm smoothing out the end of a hard tube?

Yes. One side deburrs the outside and the other deburrs the inside. I can't confirm if thats the type of reamer you are using tho.

So the reamer on one end is shaped like a mountain and the other side a pit?

Yes, with both sides having the 3 blades focusing in the middle.

With them all focusing in the same direction? Ill assume you have to use both. Thats usually it.

Yeah, it is facing the same direction.
