Read more from Chadwick Reamers Gray Shop Toolbox • Tips for use: • Check the quality of the Reamer before and after use for damage, as it is a very precise tool. • For hole sizes less than ½ inch, drill 1/64 inch less than reamer size. • For hole sizes greater than ½ and less than 1 inch, drill 1/32 inch less than reamer size. • For holes greater than an inch in diameter, it is more accurate to use a boring tool than a reamer. • Ream at ½ of the Drilling RPM. • Use plenty of machine oil. • Ream with a steady, slow plunge rate. • Adjustable and taper reams are also available.
