FAQs
What materials can I use these reamers on?
These reamers are primarily designed for use on metals but may work on other materials. Always test on a sample piece first.
How do I choose the correct reamer size?
Select the reamer size that matches the final hole diameter you need. The set includes reamers in sizes from 6.35mm to 11.91mm.
What is the purpose of cutting oil?
Cutting oil reduces friction, helps to create a smoother finish, and prolongs the life of the reamer.
How do I clean the reamers?
Clean the reamers after each use with a cloth to remove any debris. Store in a dry place.
Can I use these reamers with a power drill?
These are hand reamers, designed for manual use. Using a power drill is not recommended.
What should I do if the reamer gets stuck?
Stop immediately, apply more cutting oil, and try to turn the reamer back slightly to free it. Avoid forcing it.
How do I store the reamers?
Store the reamers in a clean, dry place, preferably in the provided case, to protect them from damage.
Troubleshooting
Reamer is difficult to turn or feels rough.
Apply more cutting oil to the reamer and the workpiece. Check for obstructions or burrs in the hole and ensure the correct reamer size is selected.
Hole is not the correct size.
Double-check the reamer size and the hole diameter. Ensure the reamer is adjusted correctly and that you are not applying too much or too little pressure.
Reamer is damaged or dull.
Inspect the reamer for damage. If the blades are dull, consider replacing the reamer.
