• Tips for use
• Check the quality of the Reamer before and after
  use for damage, as it is a very precise tool.
• For hole sizes less than ½ inch, drill 1/64 inch
  less than reamer size.
• For hole sizes greater than ½ and less than 1
  inch, drill 1/32 inch less than reamer size.
• For holes greater than an inch in diameter, it
  is more accurate to use a boring tool than a
  reamer.
• Ream at ½ of the Drilling RPM.
• Use plenty of machine oil.
• Ream with a steady, slow plunge rate.
• Adjustable and taper reams are also available.
