0.3100 OD HSS Carbide Tipped Reamer - 6" Long

The 0.3100 OD HSS Carbide Tipped Reamer is a specialized tool designed for precision reaming in various industrial applications. Historically, reaming has been a critical process in machining, utilized to enlarge and finish existing holes to specific diameters and tolerances. This particular reamer is crafted from high-speed steel (HSS) and features carbide tips, making it highly durable and effective for tough materials. The primary purpose of this reamer is to enhance the surface finish of holes, improve tolerance, and accommodate larger or more accurately sized fasteners, making it a vital tool in the manufacturing and machining industries. Common applications include use in metalworking, automotive manufacturing, and construction, where precision and speed are paramount. The carbide tips provide additional cutting power and longevity, allowing it to maintain performance even in high-volume use. Unique features of this reamer include its 0.3100 inch outer diameter, which is tailored for specific hole requirements, and its 6 inch length, offering a good balance between reach and control during operation. Additionally, the combination of HSS and carbide tips makes it capable of reaming a variety of materials including steel, aluminum, and other alloys, ensuring versatility in its use.
