  • I skipped over the 14th episode on my last upload so that's why this one is titled as 14.
    This episode is about reamers. The different types like chucking vs.taper shank, adjustable reamers, and the purposes of spiral flute reamers. I also show the proper way to turn a reamer, and don't forget, don't turn a reamer backwards. it will damage the cutting edge.
    I'll also give you a look at my reamer collection that was passed down to me from my Dad.

Can't tell you how many times I've found what I needed to finish a project in his collection of scrap metal etc. Every time I smile and say "thanks Dad, you're still looking out for me!".

    This is a really cool series of episodes. I think you're making a huge contribution to your trade. Word of mouth is the old school way of learning any trade, and your series is bringing those basic skills to a huge group of people in that old school way. (Maybe with fewer kicks in the butt.) Way to go, Mr. Booth.

  • @driveheronman4304
    @driveheronman4304 7 років тому +1

    sometimes you can use a box socket as a handle by turning it upside down and placing it on to the reaming tool, get 12" of bar and weld to a nut in the centre, then put the nut inside the socket, use the square drive size 1/4" 3/8" 1/2" n so on that fits your reaming tool size, this should be as good as any handle an hopefully it helps somebody

    Hello from France Adam and thank you for this very interesting video. You mentioned that you don't rely on the reamer for precision hole. For precision reaming with accuracy close to 0,01mm, you can use a floatting chuck. Its a pricy extra accessory, but can be found for adapting on a Lathe tailstock (reamer is fixed) or milling spindle (reamer is turning). It's used to correct misalignement between the axis of the spindle (or tailstock) and the hole to ream. It also gives the advantage of letting the reamer following the true axis of the hole. Generally speaking, the reaming using floatting chuck can have the tolerance of the reamer itself. Floatting chucks can be found with Collet MT or straight flange mounting, and reamers can be mounted with ER Collets, or MT attachments. Some models can even allow internal coolants to pass through. Have a good day ! François

    • @37yearsofanythingisenough39
      @37yearsofanythingisenough39 5 років тому

      robert hughes You never peck with a reamer. It will screw up the hole every time. In gunsmithing to chamber a rifle barrel, you use a high pressure flushing system to flush the chips ahead of the chambering reamer for this very reason if you are doing precision chambering. Excellent comment.

    Thanks Adam you confirmed something I felt for many years now. I’ve been in the trade for a little while now, about 38 years, and I like you do not use the reamers for the reason that I don’t trust they will cut an accurate size hole. I just settle on boring the hole instead of possibly scraping a part.

    All reamers need to be stored with some sort of protection on the flutes. Use either plastic expansion netting, cardboard or plastic tubes, or something if you are going to throw them in a drawer. Stands and indexes are available for fractional, number, letter, and metric reamers in smaller sizes.Each time a reamer hits another piece of tooling by throwing it in a drawer it puts a nick in the flutes. These nicks are all visible with the aid of an optical comparator. Reamers are designed to produce a smooth finish in a hole. That cannot occur when the flutes have nicks in them. The more nicks, the rougher the finish.
    You are correct when you say reamers rarely cut on size. This is one of the reasons decimal reamers are made. If you want the truest hole to location and size you must bore it.
    Excellent, in a nut shell, explanation of the reason for never turning a reamer backwards.

  • @tinkeringtim7999

    Good video, Adam . I was digging thru old videos hoping to find "salvation" for my reaming . I like you could never find reliable accuracy with my reamers . I was dead-sure I must have been doing something wrong -- could never find a solution to reliably get any better than a thousandth or two -- would always have to rely on honing . Got a "kick" out of seeing your inherited reamer-drawer ! ...... looked very familiar . It's is amazing the weight those old lower boxes could handle -- albeit, not without a little distortion .

    Recently had to buy 3.0mm and 3.3mm reamers. I guess this video is for me :-) I'm excited! *starts watching*

    I've cheated and used a center punch chucked in a drill press as a guide before. Same idea as a spring loaded tap follower, but I didn't have one of those on hand. It keeps the back end of the reamer from wandering around.
    Thanks for the info. Never knew what the sprial reamers were for. I always figured it was something for heavier cuts to clear chips.

      A solid center point works just as good or better, but you have to keep a hand on the quill handle to use it. I've done it that way countless times for tapping holes.

    I have 4 of those adjustable reamers hanging on my shop wall.. Never used them, didnt realy know how to use them.
    You can use a socket with 12 dividers and a sliding t-bar on those big 4 siders
