0.3100" O.D. HSS Chucking Reamer - 5-1/2" Long

The .3100" O.D. HSS Chucking Reamer is a precision cutting tool used predominantly in metalworking and manufacturing industries. This tool is designed to enlarge and finish existing holes to precise diameters, ensuring smoothness and accuracy in the final product. Historically, reamers have existed for centuries, evolving to meet the demands of evolving machining practices. The use of High-Speed Steel (HSS) allows this reamer to maintain its sharpness and resist heat, making it suitable for high-speed machining applications. The .3100" diameter refers to its outer diameter, while the 5-1/2" length indicates its overall size, providing a comfortable reach for various workpiece configurations. Reamers like this one are especially useful in applications such as automotive part manufacturing, aerospace components, and general metal fabrication where precision is paramount. Unique features of this reamer include its ability to produce a better surface finish compared to drills and its stable cutting action which reduces the chance of breakage. Additionally, its chucking style allows for a secure grip in toolholding systems, making it versatile for different machinery setups.
