REAMERS TROUBLESHOOTING
Situation Causes Solution
Chatter Spindle run-out, Set-up, Operating parameters Minimize spidle run-out, Extremely right set-up, Decrease he
cuting speed and increase the feed rate
Premature tool wear Inappropraite material stock left in hole Approximately 3% of the reamer diameter should be left in
the hole
Flutes chipping, clogging,
or poor surface finish
Too much material stock left in hole. Use constant flow coolants
