Reamers for Taper-Pin Holes

Shape holes to match the profile of taper pins. After drilling a hole that matches the size of the small end of the taper pin you want to install, use these reamers to taper and finish the hole.

Round Shank

Helix Flute

These reamers fit in the chuck of drill presses, turret lathes, and other machine and power tools, making them the most common shank type.

Helix Flute—Prevent clogging when removing excess material with helix flutes. They also leave a smoother finish than straight flutes.

High-Speed Steel—Durable and wear resistant, these are good for general purpose reaming in most materials.

Left-Hand Spiral—These reamers push chips downward as they cut, so they're often used in through holes.

Reamers for Hole Alignment

Enlarge holes to correct misalignment and overlap. Misaligned holes often have a narrow entry, so the tapered shape is easier to insert and makes more contact to remove the overlapping material. These are also known as bridge and car reamers.

Hex Shank

Helix Flute

The shank fits hex impact sockets, so you can use an impact wrench to both ream the hole and install a fastener.

Helix Flute—Prevent clogging when removing excess material with helix flutes. They also leave a smoother finish than straight flutes.

High-Speed Steel—Durable and wear resistant, these are good for general purpose reaming in most materials.

Left-Hand Spiral—These reamers push chips downward as they cut, so they're often used in through holes.

Strong Hold—Magnets on the shank’s end keep these reamers from accidentally falling out of your tool.
