Why a Reamer Cuts Oversize
An oversize reamed hole can come from excessive allowance, runout, poor alignment, speed or a worn reamer.
Reamers: selection checklist
- Leave the correct drilling allowance.
- Keep the reamer aligned and supported.
- Use proper feed and lubricant.
How to choose the right option
- Stop and inspect the tool, workpiece and machine interface.
- Correct the size, geometry, setup or cutting condition involved.
- Run a controlled test and inspect the result before returning to production.
