About Reamers

High-Speed Steel Round-Shank Reamers


The shank diameter is slightly smaller than the reamer diameter.
Straight-flute reamers are for general purpose cutting.
Spiral-flute reamers create a smoother finish than straight flutes and work well in keyways and other applications with an interrupted cut. Reamers with a right-hand spiral pull chips upward as they cut, so they’re often used in blind holes.

Carbide Round-Shank Reamers

Solid carbide provides exceptional wear resistance and high accuracy in addition to excellent abrasion and heat resistance when cutting hard and abrasive materials. These reamers require rigid tool holding to prevent breakage and are not for use with hand-held tools.

Round-Shank Reamers for Hole Alignment with Safety Collar

A collar on the shank prevents you from reaming past the cutting edge. These reamers are for use with hand-held electric and air tools. Also known as bridge reamers, car reamers, and aligning reamers, they ream, true, enlarge, align, and debur holes. All have tapered ends for easy entry into misaligned holes. They are not for reaming tapered holes.

Hex Nut-Shank Reamers for Hole Alignment with Safety Magnets

Magnets on the hex nut hold the reamer in place in your tool and prevent it from accidentally falling when not in the square-drive impact wrench socket. Also known as bridge reamers, car reamers, and aligning reamers, they ream, true, enlarge, align, and debur holes. All have tapered ends for easy entry into misaligned holes. Do not use for reaming tapered holes.
Reamers with spiral flutes are a good choice for materials that are difficult to ream, such as high-carbon steel and cast iron.

Inch Size High-Speed Steel Reamer Sets



Straight-flute reamers are for general purpose cutting.
Spiral-flute reamers have a right-hand spiral and a right-hand cut. They pull chips upward as they cut, so they’re often used in blind holes. Spiral flutes create a smoother finish than straight flutes and work well in keyways and other applications with an interrupted cut.

Inch Size High-Speed Steel Drill-Length Reamer Sets



These reamers have the same overall length as jobbers’ drill bits for tool interchangeability. The overall length is shorter than standard-length reamers for added rigidity.
Straight-flute reamers are for general purpose cutting.
Spiral-flute reamers have a right-hand spiral and a right-hand cut. They pull chips upward as they cut, so they’re often used in blind holes. Spiral flutes create a smoother finish than straight flutes and work well in keyways and other applications with an interrupted cut.
