Adjustable Expanding Reamer Set (8pc) [Carbon Steel Blades] - 15/32" to 1.1/16"

Carbon steel adjustable reamers are best used in metalworking applications to enlarge and shape holes with high precision. These reamers are made from high-quality carbon steel, which provides durability and resistance to wear.

Adjustable reamers feature a set of blades or cutting edges that can be adjusted to achieve different hole sizes within a specific range. The reamer consists of a tapered body with an adjustment mechanism that allows the blades to expand or contract. This adjustability makes them versatile tools suitable for various applications.

To use a our carbon steel adjustable reamers, the reamer is inserted into the hole and rotated in a clockwise direction. As the blades cut into the material, they will remove small amounts of material, gradually enlarging and smoothing the hole to the desired size and finish.

The adjustable feature of these reamers allows for flexibility in hole diameter, making them useful when precise hole sizes are required. They are commonly used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, machining, and general fabrication. Adjustable reamers are especially beneficial when working with materials that may vary in thickness or when a precise fit is necessary.

It's worth noting that carbon steel reamers are suitable for use on softer materials mild steel, plastic, and non-ferrous metals. If you are working with harder materials such as stainless steel or cast iron, you may need to consider using a reamer made from a more durable material, such as high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide.

When using carbon steel adjustable reamers, it's important to follow proper cutting techniques, lubricate the reamer, and periodically check for wear or damage to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

If you require a higher grade of reamers in this range we sell an 8PC HSS Kit just like the one above.
