Thread: Reaming 6mm hole on router

Hi all,
Been thinking on making a fixture plate with threads and holes for dowel pins for the router.
Would love to use 6mm dowel pins for aligning/fixture and wondering if this con be done by the router itself. I´ve got a 2.2Kw spindle, would a 5.9mm drill and a caribe reamer like this suit the process? How would you go about making this?
Thanks in advance,
Jordi

Ideally I would like to have an array of threads and holes hence the plan to use the cnc.
Boosting the torque on the VDF I´m able to drill given I stick to small diameters. My thoughts are that maybe by using a short carbide reamer this can be done on a chinese spindle, but would be great to hear if someone has done it already.
Anyone has experience on this?

In that case drill a series of holes in piece of scrap then machine each one a slightly larger diameter (4.000, 4.001, 4.002) with a 4mm end mill. Then see which hole has the best fit with the pin and machine your plate that diamater.
