What happens here

First, wear safety glasses to protect your eyes. Secure the copper pipe in a bench vise to keep it steady. Use a pencil reamer, also known as a 'whirly bird,' to clean the inside edge of the copper pipe. This removes any burrs or debris that could obstruct flow or affect the joint's integrity.

Goal: Clean the inside edge of the copper pipe
