What is a reamer?

A reamer is a cutting tool used for enlarging, smoothing, or shaping holes in materials such as metal, wood, or plastic. Reamers have precision cutting edges that remove small amounts of material from the inside of a hole to achieve the desired size and finish.

Reamers come in a variety of sizes and styles, including hand reamers, machine reamers, chucking reamers, and adjustable reamers. They can be used in manual drilling machines, lathes, and CNC machines to create accurate and uniform holes.

Reamers are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and construction. They are essential tools for achieving precise and high-quality results in drilling and machining operations.
