REAMERS

Reamers are rotary cutting tools designed to enlarge and true a hole to size and contour a previously formed hole. They are available in a variety of styles and sizes for specific applications.

CHUCKING REAMERS
Chucking Reamers - Fractional Sizes - Straight Flute: Designed for general purpose reaming,. Ground with 45° chamfer.
Chucking Reamers - Fractional Sizes - Helical Flute: Designed for those materials where additional sheer is necessary and to improve chip removal in blind holes. Ground with 45° chamfer.
Chucking Reamers - Wire Gauge Sizes: Designed for general purpose reaming,. Ground with 45° chamfer.
Chucking Reamers - Letter Sizes: Designed for general purpose reaming,. Ground with 45° chamfer.
Chucking Reamers - Cobalt: Cobalt Chucking Reamers are designed for reaming tough steels, stainless steel, titanium, and inconel. They can be run about 25% faster than high speed steel and produce a smoother finished hole. Tool life is increased up to 500%.
Chucking Reamers - Dowel Pin Sizes: Dowel Pine Chucking Reamers are used to size holes in preparation for installing dowel pins. Diameter tolerance is +.0000"-.0002".
Chucking Reamers - Special Decimal Sizes: Decimal Size Chucking Reamers are designed to remove a very small (.0005 to .001 inch) amount of metal when sizing a hole.
Chucking Reamers - Metric: Designed for general purpose reaming,. Ground with 45° chamfer.
Chucking Reamers - Over & Under Sizes: Oversize Reamers are +.001" and undersize reamers are -.001" from common fractional sizes of 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, and 1/2.
Chucking Reamers - Solid Carbide: Solid Carbide Chucking Reamers are used for reaming abrasive materials, hard steels up to RC 50, aluminum, brass, bronze, and plastics. Tolerance +.0001" - +.0003".
Chucking Reamers - Extra Length: Extra Length Chucking Reamers are designed for reaming and sizing holes in inaccessible places which cannot be reached with standard length chucking reamers. Various combinations of diameter and overall lengths are available.
Chucking Reamers - Carbide Tipped: Carbide tipped chucking reamers are used for reaming highly abrasive materials and sizing holes that have work-hardened. They are also used when sand or scale is encountered in reaming holes in castings. Tolerance is +.0003" - .0000".

BRIDGE REAMERS
Taper Shank Bridge Reamers: These heavy duty reamers are designed for use in structural steel fabrication bridge work, and ship construction to line up bolt and rivet holes. Can be used in portable electric or pneumatic equipment. NOTE: Because of the heavy duty work involved, some sizes have larger Morse Taper shanks than is usual for the diameter.
Round Shank Bridge Reamers: Round Shank Bridge Reamers are designed for lining up holes in structural steel fabrication bridgework, ship construction, automotive maintenance, and railroad car manufacture. Can be used with any 1/2" 3 jaw power tool. Round Shank design helps prevent "whip" caused by tool-snagging or binding.
TAPER PIN REAMERS: Taper Pin Reamers are manufactured with a taper with 1/4" per foot. They are used to ream holes into which standard taper pins will fit. The point of each reamer will enter hole reamed by next smaller size. Hole to be reamed should be a few thousandths smaller than the small diameter of the finished reamed hole. Square shank allows hand (straight & spiral) reamers to be held in a tap wrench or vise, depending on whether the reamer or the part is rotated.
Taper Pin Reamer - Straight: For use in easy to ream materials.
Taper Pin Reamer - Spiral Left Hand: For use in hard to ream materials and where the reamer tends to wedge itself.
Taper Pin Reamer - Helical Left Hand: For machine reaming of holes for taper pins on a production basis. Helical design throws the chips forward to alleviate packing of the flutes.
TAPER PIN DRILL/REAMERS
Taper Pin Drill/Reamers: Taper Pin Drill/Reamers are designed to drill and ream tapered holes in metal to fit taper pins in one operation. They are made with an included taper of 1 in 48 (1/4" per foot) and have chip breakers along the cutting edge.
TOWER BOLT REAMERS **NEW PRODUCT
Tower Bolt Reamers
PIPE REAMERS: Taper Pipe Reamers are manufactured with a taper of 3/4" per foot. They are used prior to tapping dry seal and ANPT threads when high quality threads are required.
Straight Flute Pipe Reamers: Straight Flute Pipe Reamers are designed for use in easy to ream materials.
Spiral Flute Pipe Reamers: Spiral Flute Pipe Reamers are designed for reaming harder materials where additional shear is needed.
SHELL REAMERS
Shell Reamers: Shell Reamers are designed to be used as a chucking reamer for reaming bearings and other similar work. They are fluted almost their whole length and have a tapered 1/8" per foot hole to be used with shell reamer arbors. One arbor fits several sizes of reamers so only 9 sizes of arbors are needed to fit all sizes of reamers.
Shell Reamer Arbors: Shell Reamer Arbors are tapered to fit the hole in the Shell Reamer. They fit together with slots in the reamer which engage lugs on the arbor for driving power.
CAR REAMERS
Taper Shank Car Reamers: Taper Shank Car Reamers are designed with a short flute and overall length to permit use in cramped quarters or where a Bridge Reamer would be too long. They are primarily used to repair railroad cars and for construction work, especially involving the rectification of misaligned holes.
Round Shank Car Reamers - Helical Flute: Round Shank Car Reamers are designed for lining up holes in structural steel fabrication bridgework, ship construction, automotive maintenance, and railroad car manufacture. Short Length makes it useful in close quarters with any 1/2" 3 jaw power tool.
Combination Hex/Round Shank Car Reamers - Fast Spiral: Combination Hex/Round Shank Car Reamers are designed for lining up holes in structural steel fabrication bridgework, ship construction, automotive maintenance, and railroad car manufacture. Short Length makes it useful in close quarters with any 1/2" 3 jaw power tool.
Hex Shank Car Reamers: Hex Shank Car Reamers are designed to be used in pneumatic equipment for structural steel erection. Their short overall length makes them useful in close quarters.
ADJUSTABLE HAND REAMERS
Adjustable Hand Reamers: Adjustable Hand Reamers are designed with enough adjustment to ream almost any odd size hole encountered in reaming. The blades are made of high speed steel for long life and can be adjusted by loosening one nut while tightening the other. They are used mostly for repair work in the field.

HAND EXPANSION REAMERS
Hand Expansion Reamers: Hand Expansion Reamers are designed to enlarge reamed holes by a few thousandths. The pilot and guide on these reamers are ground slightly undersize for clearance and to guide reamer. The flutes also have a ground starting taper to help guide reamer into hole. Reamer can be expanded slightly by turning adjusting screw on and off reamer.
HAND REAMERS
Hand Reamers: Hand Reamers are designed for extreme accuracy and are used by hand for final sizing of drilled holes. The square shank and fits in a tap wrench. Both styles of Hand Reamers have a ground starting taper on cutting end for easy entry.
