Champion 982-11/16 11/16" HSS Spiral Flute Taper Shank Bridge Reamer — Structural Steel Hole Alignment
The Champion 982-11/16 is a heavy-duty 11/16" HSS spiral flute taper shank bridge reamer designed to enlarge and align misfit, off-size or misaligned holes in structural steel. This individual reamer is the exact 11/16" diameter and is suited to bridge fabrication, steel erection, shipbuilding and heavy maintenance work.
The left-hand spiral flute and right-hand cut produce a shearing action that sends chips forward, helping deliver smoother hole quality and reducing binding compared with straight-flute bridge reamers. The taper shank is designed for power tools with Morse taper spindles.
