Drillco Bridge Construction Reamer High Speed Steel Black

Description

Product Overview

The Drillco bridge construction reamer is a precision cutting tool designed for professional use in construction and industrial settings. Made from high-speed steel, it provides an optimal balance of hardness and toughness, ensuring long-lasting wear resistance. The black oxide treatment enhances lubricity and helps retain coolant near the cutting edge, improving performance and tool life. With dimensions of 6.88 x 1.03 x 1.03 inches and a weight of 15.52 ounces, this reamer features a round shank with ground flats on three sides to prevent slippage in drill chucks. Its spiral flutes, operating in a counterclockwise direction, efficiently evacuate chips to prevent clogging, while the tapered point facilitates entry into misaligned holes. Model number 428A201 and ASIN B00GPAPJCS identify this reliable tool, which ranks highly in bridge and construction reamers.
