With a chucking reamer, the tapered lead is very short, and easy to get through the workpiece. Using a hand reamer, it has to go farther through the work and you might have clearance issues. DAMHIKT. Using a hand reamer in the lathe, I usually feed the reamer with a tailstock center, very slow, lotsa lube.
