0.4688" Spiral Taper Machine Reamer - 8-3/4"

Item Description

The 0.4688 inch spiral taper machine reamer is a high-precision cutting tool designed for use in metalworking applications. Typically used in the machining industry, reamers are employed to refine the size of holes that were previously drilled, ensuring better fit and finish. The spiral taper design allows for smooth cutting action, reducing the risk of binding and providing a cleaner exit for chips, resulting in better surface finish compared to straight reamers. This specific reamer, measuring 8-3/4 inches in overall length, is engineered to accommodate precise hole enlargements and is often utilized in manufacturing processes where accuracy is critical. Unbranded products like this reamer may be favored by budget-conscious professionals looking for quality tools without paying for a brand name. The unbranded nature of the reamer suggests that it could be manufactured by various suppliers or unlisted manufacturers, catering to a wider range of industrial users or hobbyists. Unique features of this reamer include the spiral flutes which help to pull chips away from the cutting area, and the taper that allows for easier entry into existing holes, reducing the chance of tool damage or hole distortion. Its compact size and cutting capabilities make it an essential tool for machinists and engineers in various sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing.
