    Straight Flute

    Spiral 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.
    Straight Flute—The most common flute style, these reamers are suitable for a wide range of applications, but not recommended for holes with a keyway or other breaks in the surface.
    Spiral Flute—Since these reamers clear chips better than straight flutes, they leave holes with a smoother finish. They're better for holes with breaks in the surface, such as a keyway, because they cut continuously across the breaks instead of moving in and out.
    High-Speed Steel—Durable and wear resistant, these are good for general purpose reaming in most materials.
    Carbide-Tipped Tool Steel—Since these reamers retain a sharper, harder edge at higher temperatures than high-speed steel and cobalt steel, they can be used on hard materials, such as iron, hardened steel, and steel alloys. They aren't as brittle as solid carbide reamers, so they can be used in less rigid setups, such as a hand-held drill.
    Right-Hand Spiral—These reamers pull chips upward as they cut, so they're often used in blind holes.

    Straight Flute

    Unlike standard reamers, which are unusable once they become worn, these can be returned to their original size for finishing holes. After the reamer is worn down, tighten the set screw to expand the diameter, grind the reamer to its original size, and get back to work.
    These are not designed for producing holes larger than the listed diameter or for producing holes of various sizes. The set screw should not be loosened.
    These reamers fit in the chuck of drill presses, turret lathes, and other machine and power tools, making them the most common shank type.

    Impact Wrench Reamer Sets for Hole Alignment

    Driven by the high torque of an impact wrench, the reamers in these sets enlarge holes of various diameters to correct misalignment and overlap faster than with a power drill. The tapered shape fits into narrow holes and makes more contact than straight reamers when removing material. Also known as bridge and car reamers.
    VersaDrive Hex Shank
    All VersaDrive tools have the same hex shank, so you need only one chuck (sold separately) to fit them into your impact wrench. This lets you quickly switch from your reamer to a drill bit, tap, or any other cutting tool you need to complete the next job. For jobs that don’t require the torque of an impact tool, you can also fit these reamers directly into a 1/2" chuck on a standard power drill.
    Do not use these reamers on holes that were flame or plasma cut.
    Spiral Flute—Since these reamers clear chips better than straight flutes, they leave holes with a smoother finish. They're better for holes with breaks in the surface, such as a keyway, because they cut continuously across the breaks instead of moving in and out.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN)-Coated Hardened High-Speed Steel—Coated to create less friction than uncoated high-speed steel reamers, these run faster and last twice as long. They’re also hardened for increased wear resistance, making them good for cutting hard metals.
    Left-Hand Spiral—These reamers push chips downward as they cut, so they're often used in through holes.
