What Are Adjustable Reamers?
Adjustable reamers are precision tools used to slightly enlarge and finish pre-drilled holes to an exact diameter. Unlike fixed reamers, these tools allow you to adjust the cutting blades within a defined range, making them ideal for jobs that require flexibility or fine-tuning.
Why Use an Adjustable Reamer?
Adjustable reamers are ideal for:
-
Achieving accurate hole sizes
-
Finishing oversized or worn holes
-
Applications where multiple hole sizes are required without changing tools
They're especially useful in maintenance, repair, and low-volume production settings where flexibility is more important than speed.
What to Consider When Buying
-
Size Range: Choose a reamer that covers the diameter range you need.
-
Blade Material: High-speed steel (HSS) is common for durability and ease of resharpening.
-
Shank Type: Ensure compatibility with your machine or tool holder.
-
Blade Adjustability: Some models allow you to replace or resharpen blades for longer tool life.
