A tool for shaping or finishing an edge, especially one that cuts or ornaments the rim of a pie, or a reamer that widens a hole.
The word comes from rim, the outer edge of something, with the ending that names a tool or a person who does a job. Bakers once used a rimmer to trim and crimp the crust around a pie, while machinists sometimes use the same word for a reamer.
