Reaming Bit: Precision Finishing for Perfectly Smooth Holes

A reaming bit is a cutting tool designed to refine and enlarge existing holes with high accuracy. Used in metalworking, woodworking, plastic machining, and even construction, reaming bits deliver smooth, round, and dimensionally precise holes that standard drill bits can't achieve alone.

What makes a reaming bit different from a drill bit?

While a drill bit creates the initial hole, it can leave rough edges or slight irregularities. A reaming bit corrects that by shaving off small amounts of material to improve the hole's size, finish, and roundness. This is crucial when you need a tight fit for dowels, bolts, or bearings.

Reaming bits come in various types—straight-flute, spiral-flute, and tapered—each suited for different materials and tolerances. They are typically made from high-speed steel, carbide, or cobalt, offering long tool life and resistance to wear.

In short, a reaming bit is all about precision. If your project demands holes that are not just drilled but polished to near perfection, this is the tool that gets you there.
