Product Selection Differences for Stub Reamers

When selecting Stub Reamers, there are several key differences and factors to consider:

1. Material: Stub reamers are typically made of high-speed steel (HSS) or solid carbide. HSS reamers are more cost-effective and suitable for general-purpose applications, while solid carbide reamers offer superior durability and performance in high-hardness materials.

2. Coating: Consider the type of coating on the reamer, such as TiN (titanium nitride), TiCN (titanium carbonitride), or TiAlN (titanium aluminum nitride). Coatings can enhance tool life, reduce friction, and improve chip evacuation.

3. Flute Design: The flute design affects chip evacuation and reaming performance. Straight flute reamers are suitable for through-holes, while spiral flute reamers are ideal for blind holes as they help in chip removal.

4. Shank Type: Stub reamers come with straight shanks or tapered shanks. Choose the appropriate shank type based on your machining setup and requirements.

5. Cutting Edge Geometry: Different cutting edge geometries, such as straight flute, helical flute, or spiral flute, impact factors like surface finish and chip control. Select the one that best suits your machining needs.

6. Size and Tolerance: Ensure that the reamer size and tolerance meet your specific requirements for hole size accuracy and surface finish.

7. Application Specificity: Consider the material you are reaming, the type of hole (through-hole or blind hole), and the desired finish to select a stub reamer that best suits your application.

By evaluating these factors and understanding your specific machining needs, you can choose the most appropriate stub reamer for your operations.
