Alvord Polk 650-H High-Speed Steel Construction Reamer, Left Hand Spiral Flute, Round Shank, Uncoated Finish, Size: 1 Inch
[Product Information]
- Left-hand spiral reamers are good for use in through holes (holes that extend all the way through a workpiece), as they push chips ahead of the tool and into the hole
- Spiral reamers are recommended for reaming holes with interruptions, as they prevent damage to the workpiece edge and tool
- Round shank tools are cylindrical and should be held in a good-quality toolholder in order to prevent the reamer from slipping in high torque applications, which can cause tool freeze, loss of accuracy, and tool damage
- Uncoated (bright) tools have no finish or coating. They are a good choice for general purpose applications
- High-speed steel is a common general purpose steel for cutting tools, is compatible with a variety of materials, and tends to be lower in price than cobalt steel or carbide
