I have never used reamer. It looks like the cutting edges are dead straight. So once the first part of the tool goes into the hole the diameter of the hole at the start is now cut to size so the rest of the reamer has nothing to do. It looks to me like the only part of the tool that would have any cutting to do is the tip. Is this correct? Jadecy Well-Known Member.

This is typically for small holes ie. There are all kinds of reamers. There are also taper reamers and adjustable reamers. If you lathe talestock is aligned and the drill chuck is good you will get a super nice finish on a very accurately sized hole. On larger hole you use a boring bar and a hone or lap to get close tolerences.
Hope that helps. Think of it as a straight flute drill bit but much more accurate. A helical drill bit does the initial cutting at the tip as well but the flutes continue on. Reamers do not self clean the debris so if it is a blind hole you'll need to back it out periodically and clean the hole.

The rest of the flutes provide guidance and also permit many re-sharpenings As with all cutting tools, my advice is that it is cheaper in the long run to buy quality. Like Jacey says, drill undersized, i go. The length of the shaft is such that and so that the reamer is somewhat flexible this is done on purpose. It reamer will follow the hole and make up for minor errors if the chuck is a little off.

But it is not very often you have that "right" size reamer. Also, floating reamer holders are a god send. And if it is in your price range or if you stumble across one , a right hand cut left hand spiral carbide tipped reamer can leave a mirror finish in most anything if aligned properly or used in a floating head.

The Dihart Run at a spindle speed of about 1, rpm, the previous reamers took 3 to 4 seconds to finish a hole, whereas cut time for the new tool is 0.
The cermet-tipped reamers have through-the-tool coolant, whereas the company applied flood coolant for the carbide ones. In addition to holding the tight size tolerance, the Monomax reamer imparts a surface finish of 0. Boxell noted that he could apply a larger drill and increase reamer life by leaving as little as 0. In addition, Magna realizes additional savings by having Komet retip used reamers for about a third of the cost of new. According to Komet, it can retip a tool three or four times.

Although toolmakers have long promoted various drills to eliminate reaming, YG-1 Tool Co. The drill, which is coated with titanium aluminum nitride, can achieve a reamed hole tolerance of M7, according to YG-1 see Table.
Solid-carbide through-coolant drills are available from 0. Drills are also available without coolant holes. YG-1 offers two designs for machining materials up to 50 HRC: standard for steel, cast iron and similar alloys, and Inox for stainless steel and softer, more ductile alloys. According to Zaitoon, the Dream Drill is suitable for replacing about 50 to 70 percent of reaming applications when drilling from a solid workpiece.
