What is the formula for drill size for reamer?

A 0.7500” diameter reamer should remove between 0.0150”-0.0225” of stock. My preferred method for calculating the drill bit size is to take the desired finished hole diameter and multiply it by 0.98. Then take the desired finished hole size and multiply it by 0.97.

How do you size a reamer?

Reamer to Hole Size Chart

FINAL HOLE REAMER SIZE Reduce Drill Hole Size By (inch)
mm inch MIN
0.30mm .01181″ -0.00197″
0.40mm .01575″ -0.00197″
0.50mm .01969″ -0.00197″

How much material do you need for a reamer?

0.010 ” to 0.015 ”
A rule of thumb is 0.010 ” to 0.015 ” should remain after drilling for reaming, except for small diameters, such as 1⁄32 “, which should have 0.003 ” to 0.006 ” of material for reaming, Lynberg noted. “A poorly drilled hole may need a little more material in order for the reamer to ‘clean up’ the hole walls,” he said.

How is reamer feed and speed calculated?

feed rate = RPM * chip load * number of teeth. feed rate = 4584 * 0.004 * 2. feed rate = 36.7 inches per minute (IPM)…Using the imperial speeds formula, you would perform the calculation:

  1. RPM = (12 * surface speed) / (π * tool/workpiece diameter)
  2. RPM = (12 * 600) / (3.14159 * 0.5)
  3. RPM = 4584 rev/min.

What does H7 mean on a reamer?

The coding on the reamer, such as H7, defines the expected tolerance that it would give.

What is the drill size before reaming for a 3/8 diameter?

What is reaming allowance?

The planned difference between the drill diameter and the reamer diameter is called an allowance. (It allows for the removal of a certain small amount of material.)

What speed should you run a reamer?

Optimum Reamer Speed and Feeds Some say the ratio to a twist drill is 1/3, while others suggest it should be 1/2. In looking over a number of different manufacturer’s recommendations, we’ve found 1/2 yields results reamer speeds and feeds that are much closer to their recommendations.

What does H8 mean on a reamer?

H8 (hole) tolerance range = +0.000 mm to +0.039. f7 (shaft) tolerance range = −0.050 mm to −0.025 mm. Potential clearance will be between +0.025 mm and +0.089 mm.

What is the tolerance of a reamer?

The tolerance for uncoated reamers is +. 0000″/-. 0002″, while the tolerance for AlTiN coating is +. 0002″/-.

How much should a reamer remove?

Typically, the rule of thumb is to keep 0.010″ to 0.015″ material after drilling for the reamer to remove. Very small diameters, say 1/32″ or less, should have 0.003″ to 0.006″ of material to remove by reaming.
