Tapping:
- It has been defined as a process for producing internal threads using a tool (tap) that has teeth on its periphery to cut threads in a predrilled hole.
- A combined rotary and axial relative motion between tap and workpiece form threads.
Reaming:
- The process of enlarging the hole is called reaming.
- A reamer is a type of rotary cutting tool used in metalworking.
- Precision reamers are designed to enlarge the size of a previously formed hole by a small amount but with a high degree of accuracy to leave smooth sides.
- There are also non-precision reamers which are used for more basic enlargement of holes or for removing burrs.
Drilling:
- It is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut a hole of circular cross-section in solid materials.
- The drill bit is usually a rotary cutting tool, often multi-point.
Scrapers:
- The mechanical scraper tool is made up of old files and the cutting edge of the scraper is hardened and tempered.
- They are mainly used to scrap metal surfaces by rubbing the work surface.
The following types of scrappers according to shape are commonly classified as
- Flat
- Hook
- Triangular
- Half-round

From the above definitions, we conclude that Reaming is performed after a hole already exists and it is done for providing a good surface finish and accuracy. So, it can be performed after drilling, boring, and counterboring but cannot be done after Tapping.
As in tapping, we create internal threads in a predrilled hole so if after tapping reaming is done then it will lead to destructions of the internal threads as the reamer flutes move across it which is not desirable.
