Hand reamers are a type of cutting tool used in industrial drilling applications to create precise and accurate holes. They are typically used for finishing and enlarging existing holes in a range of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites.
Two common types of hand reamers are straight flute and left-hand spiral. Let's explore the advantages and use cases for each.
Straight Flute Hand Reamers: Straight flute hand reamers are designed with a straight cutting edge that runs the length of the tool. This design allows for a smooth, straight cut and creates a high-quality finish on the hole. The straight flute design also provides excellent control and stability, making it easier to achieve precise and accurate results.
Use Cases: Straight flute hand reamers are ideal for finishing and enlarging holes in materials that are prone to chipping or cracking, such as cast iron or brass. They are also commonly used in woodworking applications to create precise holes in furniture and cabinetry.
Left-Hand Spiral Hand Reamers: Left-hand spiral hand reamers are designed with a spiral cutting edge that runs counterclockwise. This design allows for the reamer to "pull" chips out of the hole as it cuts, which can help prevent clogging and overheating. The left-hand spiral design also makes it easier to remove the reamer from the hole, reducing the risk of damage to the tool or the material being drilled.
Use Cases: Left-hand spiral hand reamers are ideal for drilling holes in softer materials, such as aluminum or plastic. They are also commonly used in automotive applications, such as drilling out broken bolts or studs.
In summary, hand reamers are a versatile tool for creating precise and accurate holes in a range of materials. Straight flute hand reamers are ideal for finishing and enlarging holes in materials prone to chipping or cracking, while left-hand spiral hand reamers are best suited for drilling holes in softer materials and removing broken bolts or studs. By understanding the advantages and use cases for each type of hand reamer, you can choose the right tool for your industrial drilling needs.
