Machine Reamer
Description
A Machine Reamer is a precision cutting tool used to finish holes to accurate size and smooth surface using a drilling or milling machine. It operates at controlled speed and feed, providing high accuracy and better surface finish compared to hand reamers. It is widely used in machining and production work.
Parts
- Flutes: Cutting edges that remove material.
- Body: Main cutting portion of the reamer.
- Shank: Connects the reamer to the machine spindle.
- Chamfer: Helps in smooth entry into the hole.
Material
- High Speed Steel (HSS)
- Carbide (for high precision work)
- Alloy Steel
Uses
- Finishing holes to precise dimensions
- Improving surface finish
- Machining and production work
- Precision engineering applications
Safety
- Use correct speed and feed rate.
- Apply cutting fluid for smooth operation.
- Do not force the tool.
- Ensure proper alignment before use.
- Switch off machine before adjustments.
