I was thinking you guys could help with a question.My Company is looking for a special
reamer.
It needs to have helical flutes , a taper of 1.5 inches taper per foot,or 8 to 1. High speed
steel .The small diameter is 2.625 and the large diameter is 3.5 inches. As this is 7 inch
flute length and a #5 or #6 morse taper shank, it makes for a very large tool,can't buy it
just anywhere you know.
If the members can suggest a tool company for this job,we can take it from there.
Thanks Again.
P S This reaming operation is a repair in a bore which is built up and re finished in a rough ream, Finish ream process,its pretty hard on the tools so we send it out to a shop with a
Horizontal Boring Mill ,we can't run this in a SLOW enough , but RIGID enough setup in our shop (nothings big enough)
