Reamers

Overview

The conditions under which reamers are used and the results which are desired vary so widely that it is impossible to set up any guide to cover each possible combination. A few of the variables which affect reamer cutting action are:

1.	Speed
2.	Feed
3.	Use of guide bushings
4.	Material
5.	Condition of machine
6.	Rigidity of set-up
7.	Rake of cutting edges
8.	Reliefs on reamer
9.	Amount of stock to be removed
10.	Finish required
11.	Tolerance of hole
