[Solved] A Ø 6H7 Hole Is To Be Reamed In A Steel Work Piece. W

Concept:

A reamer is a multipoint cutting tool used for enlarging by finishing previously drilled holes to accurate sizes.

For reaming with a hand or a machine reamer, the hole drilled should be smaller than the reamer size.

Calculating drill size for reamer

A method generally practised in workshop is by applying the following formula:

Drill size = Reamed size - (Undersize + Oversize)

  • Finished size is the diameter of the reamer.
  • Undersize is the recommended reduction in size for different ranges of drill diameter.

Diameter of ready reamed hole (mm)

Undersize of rough bored hole (mm)

Under 5

0.1 – 0.2

5 – 20

0.2 – 0.3

21 – 50

0.3 – 0.5

Over 50

0.5 - 1

  • Oversize is generally considered that a twist drill will make a hole larger than its diameter. The oversize for calculation purposes is taken as 0.05 mm - for all diameters of drills.

Given: Ø 6H7 hole

Calculation:

Finished size = 6 mm

Under size as per table = 0.2 mm

Over size = 0.05 mm

Drill Size = 6 – (0.2 + 0.05) = 5.75 mm Download Solution PDF Share on Whatsapp
