Product Information

Hand reamers are typically made from carbide or high-speed steel (HSS), these multi-edged rotary cutting tools are used within metalworking industries for enlarging and finishing holes with a high level of precision and accuracy. There are other means to create holes with precise diameters and high quality finish on the walls, but reaming is often the best choice for speed and low cost.

Give G-Wizard a try. It’s gives you the starting hole size and good feeds and speeds for both HSS and carbide reamers. Best of all, it’s free during your 30 day trial. Pre-ream Drill Size Chart There are several types of reamer bits available, each designed for specific applications. Let’s explore some of the most common types: Hand Reamers: Hand reamers are versatile tools used for enlarging or smoothing out holes in various materials. They are often used in automotive and mechanical applications.When it all comes down to is what your main purpose is. For making initial holes in wood, metal, plastic, and other materials, it is a drill bit that you need. However, if you are enlarging a hole, particularly in metal, then it is a reamer that you need. Summary A Reamer drill bit set is a set of reaming tools that consist of a round shank and a cutting tool. The reamer set is used to enlarge or finish the hole made by another tool. If you need to hold tolerances tighter than +/- 0.002″ on hole diameter, a reamer is probably the way to go. For example, you could use our Press Fit Calculator to figure the required hole size and them use a reamer to achieve that size within tolerances. Twist drill is 703 rpm (a little less than 2x the reamer), and 1.863 ipm (reamer is feeding a little faster)…

We then have the drill bit, which as you can probably tell, is a specific type of bit that you put into a power drill. Drill bits tend to be quite a bit smaller than reamer and reamer bits. Misalignment: Make sure your fixturing and setup allow the reamer to be right on center of the hole. Use a floating holder if necessary. Consider using precision bushings or piloted reamers. Surface Smoothing: Reamer bits can be used to smooth out rough or uneven hole surfaces, improving the overall finish. This is important in applications where a smooth surface is required for proper functioning, such as in the medical industry. Good quality cutting fluid can enhance surface finish and prolong the reamer’s useful life. Through spindle coolant can be even more effective as it has a positive effect on chip control and chip breaking. A taper pin is a self tightening device due to the shallow angle of the taper. They may be driven into the tapered hole such that removal can only be done with a hammer and punch. They are sized by a number sequence (for example, a No.4 reamer would use No.4 taper pins).A straight reamer is used to make only a minor enlargement to a hole. The entry end of the reamer will have a slight taper, the length of which will depend on its type. This produces a self centering action as it enters the raw hole. The larger proportion of the length will be of a constant diameter. In materials that can workharden, such as Titanium, it’s desirable to keep a light DOC (Depth of Cut). The light DOC keeps chips thin so they’re easier to evacuate. Reaming Twice No matter which type of reamer tool you choose, you’ll be able to reap the benefits. From saving money by not having to discard unusable beads to protecting your thread and chain projects from snagging against the rough burrs in the bead holes.
