  1. Machine Reaming Session 10

  2. Reamers • Rotary cutting tool with several straight or helical cutting edges along body • Used to accurately size and finish hole previously formed by drilling • Two classifications • Hand • Machine

  3. Reamer Parts • Shank • Straight or tapered and used to drive reamer • Hand reamers have square on end to accommodate tap wrench • Angle of Chamfer • Part of reamer that actually does cutting • Ground on end of each tooth • Clearance behind each chamfered cutting edge

  4. Reamer Body • Several straight or helical grooves or flutes and lands (portion between flutes) • Body clearance angle: clearance behind margin that reduces friction while reamer cutting • Rake angle: angle formed by face of tooth when line drawn from point on front marginal edge through center of reamer

  5. Machine Reamer Parts

  6. Hand Reamers • Finishing tools • Holes drilled to .003-.005 inch undersize • Square on shank for wrench • Teeth on end tapered so can enter hole easily

  7. Hand Reamers • Taper hand reamers • Roughing • Finishing

  8. Machine Reamers • Used in any machine tool for both roughing and finishing hole • Called chucking reamers for holding method • Wide variety of types and styles • Rose reamers • Fluted reamers • Carbide-tipped reamers

  9. Rose Reamer • Straight or tapered shanks with straight or helical flutes • Teeth on end have 45º chamfer backed off to produce cutting edge • Cut on end angle only • Usually made .003 to .005 in under normal size

  10. Fluted Reamers • Have more teeth than rose reamers for comparable diameter • Lands relieved for entire length • Fluted reamers cut along side as well as at chamfer on end • Considered finishing tools and used to bring hole to size

  11. Carbide-tipped Reamers • Similar to rose or fluted reamers, except carbide tips been brazed to cutting edges • Outlast high-speed steel reamers • Can run at higher speeds and still maintain their size

  12. Shell Reamers • Reamer heads mounted on driving arbor • Shank of driving arbor may be straight or tapered • Two slots in end of reamer fit into lugson driving arbor • Sometimes lockingscrew in arbor

  13. Advantages of Shell Reamers • Economical for larger holes • Various head sizes can be easily interchanged on one arbor • When reamer becomes worn, it may be replaced and driving arbor used with other reamers

  14. Adjustable reamers • Have inserted blades that can be adjusted approximately at .015 in over or under nominal reamer size • Adjusting nuts on either end

  15. Expansion reamers • Amount to be expanded is limited • Body slotted and tapered, threaded plug fitted into end • Turning this plug will allow 1 in. reamer to expand up to .005 in.

  16. Reamer Care • Never turn reamer backwards • Always store reamers separately prevents cutting edges from being nicked • When not in use, reamer should be oiled

  17. Reaming Allowances • Amount of material left in hole for reaming operation depends on number of factors • Type of machining operation prior to reaming • Hole punched, rough-drilled, bored • Size of Hole

  18. Reaming Allowances • General rules for amount of material to leave in hole for machine reaming • Holes up to .500 in. diameter, allow .015 in. (1/64th) • Holes over .500 in. diameter, allow .030 in. (1/32th)

  19. Reaming Speeds • Factors for determining most efficient speed • Type of material being reamed • Rigidity of setup • Tolerance and finish required for hole

  20. Reaming Speeds • Generally reaming speed 1/2 to 2/3 speed used for drilling same material • High speed – used when setup rigid • Lower speed – used when setup less rigid • Coolants improve surface finish and allows higher speed

  21. Reaming Feeds • Feed used for reaming usually two to three times greater than drilling • Rate varies with material reamed • Generally .001 to .004 in. per flute per revolution • Feed too low: glazing, excessive reamer wear, chatter • Feed too fast: reduce hole accuracy, poor surface finish • Exception: tapered holes need light feed

  22. Reaming Hints • Examine reamer and remove all burrs from cutting edges with hone • Cutting fluid should be used in reaming operation to improve hole finish and prolong life of reamer • Helical-fluted reamers should always be used when long holes and those with keyways or oil grooves are reamed

  23. Reaming Hints • Straight-fluted reamers generally used when extreme accuracy required • Never turn reamer backwards • Never attempt to start reamer on uneven surface

  24. Machine Reaming a Straight Hole • Mount work on parallels in vise and fasten securely to table • Select proper-size drill for reaming allowance required and drill hole • Mount proper reamer in drill press • Adjust spindle speed to suit reamer and work material

  25. Machine Reaming a Straight Hole • Start drill press and carefully lower spindle until chamfer on reamer cuts • Apply cutting fluid and feed reamer by applying enough pressure to keep reamer cutting • Remove reamer from hole by raising downfeed handle • Shut off machine and remove burr from edge of hole
