Reamer
are precision
cutting tools used to enlarge existing holes smoothly
and accurately by removing a small amount of metal.
Reamer geometry varies widely, having four or more flutes,
spiral or straight, and left or right hand cut.
Applications
REAMERS are used to rough or finish ream predrilled,
punched, or die-cast cavities for improved size, roundness,
straightness, and surface finish. Though straight
flute reamers are still popular, there are many advantages
to spiral flute construction. Particularly in smaller
sizes, spiral flute reamers can be manufactured more
accurately and result in a considerable cost savings.
