I have some 6061-T6 parts that will have to be anodized. The parts are wheel hubs or rims for electric slot racing cars. The anodizing will be for coloring the parts so it will not be hard anodizing. I need to create a 3/32" hole in the parts, that has no anodizing, for the axle to fit into. I was thinking of drilling a #43 hole, which is .089" in the hub and send it out for anodizing. When it comes back, I will ream my final hole size to 3/32".
What I wonder is does my math look right and what style and type of reamer would stand up to normal anodizing?
I will be reaming on a Hardinge DV-59. Should I run oil on the part or ream dry?
Thanks in advance,
Dan Miller
