Product Information
- Straight flute reamers are recommended for general purpose reaming to make minor enlargements to preformed holes with a very precise size and circularity
- Straight flute reamers are good for use in through or blind holes without interruptions such as keyways (through holes extend through the entire workpiece, while blind holes do not)
- CNC length tools are generally shorter than other machine tools. The shorter length makes for a more rigid tool, which minimizes vibration at the higher rpms available with CNC machines
- Round shank tools are cylindrical and should be held in a good-quality toolholder in order to prevent the reamer from slipping in high torque applications, which can cause tool freeze, loss of accuracy, and tool damage
- Carbide resists abrasion and high cutting temperatures. It can run at higher speeds and is harder than high-speed steel
