0.489 OD HSS Carbide Tipped Reamer - 7" Long

The 0.489 OD HSS Carbide Tipped Reamer is a precision cutting tool primarily used in metalworking and manufacturing industries. Reamers are designed to enlarge existing holes while ensuring a smooth finish and accurate diameter. This particular reamer features a high-speed steel (HSS) body, which grants it durability and resistance to wear, allowing it to handle the increased thermal and mechanical stresses during operation. The carbide tips enhance the reamer's hardness and extend its lifespan, making it suitable for tough materials such as steel, aluminum, and titanium. With a length of 7 inches, this tool is versatile enough for various applications, including automotive, aerospace, and general machining work. The 0.489-inch diameter ensures that it can be used for specific hole sizes that require precise tolerances. Unlike drill bits, reamers do not create deep holes but refine the interior dimensions of pre-existing ones to achieve desired shapes and finishes. Overall, this reamer is essential for achieving high-quality engineering standards in mechanical components, resulting in improved performance and reliability.
