Special Diameters on all List Numbers

Special Tolerances on all Diameters

Shorter Overall Lengths

Special End Cutting Features

Tapered Leads

Flute Alterations:

       Non-Cutting Pilots

       Cutting Steps

       Relief Angles for Special Materials

       Tapered Flutes (these are limited by Flute Length)

Shank Alterations:

       Drive Tangs

       3 Flats

       Square Drives

       Morse Taper Shanks

       Keyways

       Set Screw Notches

       Oil Grooves

Coatings

In many situations adding a coating to your reamer will enhance its performance. Coatings can increase chip flow, reduce tool wear, prevent build up on the cutting edge, and/or allow faster feeds and speeds.

We offer several coating options for your needs:

Black Oxide

An economical coating that adds increased lubricity, helping chip flow.  Suitable for most low temperature reaming operations.

TiN

Titanium Nitride - Reduces wear and improves chip formation. TiN is a good choice when reaming carbon, alloy, and stainless steels as well as cast iron and wrought aluminum alloys.

TiCN

Titanium CarboNitride - Similar performance to TiN, but is ideal for difficult to machine materials (gummy and high abrasive). TiCN performs well in alloy steels, stainless, and where moderate cutting temperatures are generated.

TiAIN

Titanium Aluminum Nitride - The hardest of the 3 Titanium coatings. Ideal for high temperature cutting, and adds reduced wear even in heavy and interrupted cuts. TiAlN performs well in materials such as Titanium and Nickel alloys.

Unlike many coating centers, Yankee understands that reamers need a consistent coating thickness so that your reamers meet your specifications after they have been coated.

In short, please call or fax us your blueprints for fast delivery and competitive pricing.

All specialty reamers  are inspected 100% using calibrated measuring devices by our Quality Control Team.
