I restrung about 50 or 60 pianos in my experience, and I've tried using reamers and I never liked it, because you cannot get equal torque with it. I would recommend using brass gun brushes (caliber #7) with the drill, don't use plastic brushes. But if you still gonna use reamers, turn it by hand about 2-3 turns, and about 18 holes (6 unisons) at a time. Don't get reamers to hot, because you can damage pin block. I hope it helps.
