A reaming tool having a single blade in the head portion of its shank is provided with two axially elongated guide ribs radially and axially approximately coextensive with the cutting edge of the blade. One guide rib is diametrically opposite the cutting edge, and the other one is much nearer to the cutting edge than to the other rib so that the angular center-to-center spacing of the two ribs is bisected by the resultant force defined by the circumferential cutting force exerted by the cutting edge on a body of mild steel during reaming at a cutting speed of 5 to 100 meters per minute and at an axial feed rate of 0.1 to 0.5 mm per revolution, and the radially inward force of reaction acting on the cutting blade during the reaming.
