SOLUTION
A reamer is a multi-point cutting tool used for enlarging by finishing previously drilled holes to accurate size.
Reamers are classified as hand reamers and machine reamers.
Machine reamers are provided with morse taper shanks for holding on machine spindle.
Reaming by using hand reamers is done manually for which great skill is required.
Types of hand reamer:
- Parallel hand reamer with parallel shank
- Hand reamer with pilot
- Socket reamer with parallel shank
- Taper pin hand reamer
- Straight and helical fluted reamers
Helical fluted reamers are particularly suitable for remain holes having keyway grooves or special lines cut into them.
Straight flute reamers are useful for general reaming work.
Taper reamers are available with straight or helical flutes. They generally have a taper of 1 in 50.
