The reamer has cutting surfaces, they're just very small and don't remove much material.

Assuming that I understand the question.

The infeed end of the reamer is tapered so that it can fit into the hole to get started.

the hole has to be re-drilled to a diameter a few .oooths less than the reamer diameter.
