Examples for reamer

In Fig. 677 let a represent a reamer and b a segment of an emery wheel.

A common method is to clamp a dog to the reamer shank, and then place the tool-rest beneath it to prevent rotation.

The reamer is revolved at high speed and freely supplied with oil.

It is obvious that in this form the reamer is expanded most at the end.

The form of center-hole produced by a combination drill and reamer is shown by the lower left-hand view in Fig. 27.

The bore is finally reamed to size by a reamer F held in a “floating” reamer-holder.

The lathe is run very slowly for reaming and the reamer is fed into the work by feeding out the tailstock spindle.

When a reamer is used in the lathe, the outer end is supported by the tailstock center and should have a deep center-hole.

The hole is then finished smooth and to the right diameter by reamer f.

The less you give a reamer to do the longer it will maintain its size.
