Thank you :).

There is a difference between drill and ream when i do folder :). As i used pivot tube with 0.05mm of size variation, that i better to have a really perfectly round hole :). Before i simply drilled to the size i wanted, but my hole wasn't really round and that could induce a blade play :D.
Moreover i re sharpen my drill bit, and the result is not really perfect :). That is better to drill a bit smaller and to ream to the right size after :D
