They are tapered at the point which allows you to enter holes that are out of alignment. Our HSS (High Speed Steel) Safety Reamers are especially adapted for heavy duty reaming as encountered in structural steel assembly fabrication. Our HSS (High Speed Steel) Cap Screw Counterbores are designed to create a recess for socket head cap screws and shoulder screws. Expansion reamers are handy tools that allow the user to keep working with the same reamer multiple times, without having to buy a new reamer. As the reamer is used and the cutting edges are worn down, the user simply turns the screw to expand the reamer, re-clears it, sharpens it back to its original size and goes right back to work. They are built with slots cut between the flutes and a tapered screw in the head. Expansion ReamersĮxpansion reamers are precision tools that can be reused multiple times and are generally used for reaming abrasive material. Dowel Pin ReamersĪll of our HSS (High Speed Steel) Dowel Pin Reamers are manufactured with a minus tolerance, used for reaming holes for dowel pins in the automotive industry and mold shops. Taper Pin ReamersĪll of our HSS (High Speed Steel) Taper Reamers are designed for reaming holes so that standard taper pins can fit properly. The results will be attained if the hole is drilled a few thousandths smaller than the small diameter of the finished reamed hole. The flutes also have a ground starting taper to help guide reamer into hole. The pilot and guide on these reamers are ground slightly undersize for clearance and to guide reamer. Left hand spiral is for reaming keyways and interrupted cut holes. Left Hand Spiral Hand Reamers are designed to enlarge reamed holes by a few thousandths. HSS (High Speed Steel) Left Hand Spiral Hand Reamers Ground with a starting chamfer to provide easy entry of the reamer in to the hole. The left hand spiral flute design pushes chips forward out of the hole and allows the reamer to be used in holes that have an interruption. Chucking Reamers are available in a variety of different styles such as Straight Flute, Right Hand Spiral, Left Hand Spiral and Intermediate Sizes. They are designed to remove a minimal amount of stock, usually between 1/64" to 1/32", for a close tolerance hole. Chucking ReamersĬhucking reamers are most often used in machine shops for close tolerance work. Straight flutes are commonly used, but spiral and helical flutes prevent chip buildup and can be used at higher speeds.


The more flutes, the more space, feed speed, and rigidity.

The number of flutes on the reamer determines how fast it can be fed into the hole, how rigid it is, and the space for chips. Taper pin reamers are used with both hand and machine tools. There are also taper pin reamers, which are designed to ream holes for standard taper pins.
Drill size for m12x1.75 form tap full#
Hand reamers cut both on the bevel lead and the taper lead, which is the full length of the flute. They cut on the 45-degree bevel lead the bevel lead is the angle at the top of the flute. Reamers used with machines are called chucking reamers. Reamers can either be used with hand or machine tools, such as turret lathes and drill presses used in metalworking. They have cutting flutes on one end and a straight shank on the other. Reamers are primarily used to remove material from, deburr, or enlarge the inside of previously formed holes such as I-Beams, Angles, Channels and Plates. We also stock Dowel Pin, Expansion, Taper Shank, Taper Pipe, Taper Pin, Construction, Capscrew, Safety, Bridge and Hand Reamers – all of which are available at affordable prices and with same day shipping.
