Carbide Reamers
Unequal flute spacing stops the tool from tracing a lobed pilot hole. Guide pads and back taper are set per bore class, so the reamer finishes the hole rather than following it.

- Stainless steel
- Cast iron
- Non-ferrous
- Superalloys & titanium
Why this range
- Ø2 – 20 mm, H7 as standard and H5 on request
- Unequal spacing removes hole lobing
- Straight, spiral and through-coolant versions
