Expansion Reamers: Precision holes require precision tools. When machinists need an exact size hole, they want the best tool available to achieve the desired diameter. That’s a job for a reamer. The appropriate amount of stock removal for carbide tipped reamers is typically 2-3 percent of the finished hole size. This is so the reamer […]

The first problem and probably one of the most common reaming problems is Poor Finish. Possible causes include unequal chamfers, incorrect margins, excessive spindle runout, chatter, and insufficient cutting action. Below is a table with possible solutions for each of the possible causes of poor finish: Possible Causes Possible Solutions Unequal Chamfers Regrind the reamer […]
