WHAT IS GHI Reamer series?

①GHI Reamer

For general finishing

Feature:6 Edges with unequal division. High-precision machining

  • Accuracy: IT7
  • Roundness: ≤ 10µm
  • Surface roughness: ≤ 12.5z

②GHI Reamer Type.T

For thin-walled workpieces

Feature: Low-resistance machining with right-hand twisting

  • Accuracy: IT7
  • Roundness: ≤ 10µm
  • Surface roughness: ≤ 12.5z

③GHI Reamer Type.R

For through-hole

Feature:Improved through-hole chip evacuation with left-hand twisting

  • Accuracy: IT7
  • Roundness: ≤ 10µm
  • Surface roughness: ≤ 12.5z

“Amazing Ideas / Facts!”

The GHI Series Reamers for cast iron and steel:

  • Excellent roundness and surface roughness due to the optimized unequal spacing 6 cutting edges.
  • Highly efficient machining at high feed rates contributes to shorter cycle times.
  • Type T for thin-wall and Type R for through-hole are also available.
 

Outstanding roundness

Excellent surface roughness

Type.T (right-hand twisting) Reduced cutting resistance (thrust)

Type.R (left-hand twisting) Improved chip evacuation

POINT! Machining accuracy by the 6 unequally cpaced edges, the optimal edge profile and the coating.

Background / Point for Development

Background

  • High feed operation with conventional multi-flute reamers often results in bad roundness and roughness.

Point for Development

  • The optimized unequal spacing 6 cutting edges significantly improves roundness.
  • The back taper suitable for high feed machining improves surface finish.
  • The multi-layer coating contributes to lower tooling costs by extending tool life.
