Product FAQ's
1. What is a PCD Reamer?
A PCD Reamer is a high-precision hole-finishing tool manufactured with Polycrystalline Diamond cutting edges. It is designed to deliver excellent dimensional accuracy, superior surface finish, and long tool life when machining non-ferrous and abrasive materials in high-volume production.
2.What materials can be machined using PCD Reamers?
PCD Reamers are mainly used for aluminum alloys, high-silicon aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, graphite, plastics, carbon-fiber composites, and other non-ferrous materials. They perform exceptionally well in abrasive materials where conventional carbide tools wear rapidly.
3.What diameter range is available for PCD Reamers?
Standard PCD Reamers are available in diameters from 3.0 mm to 25 mm. Custom diameters can also be manufactured to meet specific machining requirements, ensuring precise hole sizing for special components and applications.
4.What hole tolerance can be achieved with PCD Reamers?
PCD Reamers are capable of achieving tight hole tolerances such as H7 or ±0.01 mm. This high level of accuracy ensures consistent hole quality, reduced rejection rates, and improved assembly fit in precision components.
5. What is the standard flute length and overall length of PCD Reamers?
Flute lengths usually range from 10 mm to 45 mm, while overall tool lengths vary between 60 mm and 180 mm. Both flute length and overall length can be customized based on workpiece depth and machine setup.
6. What shank types are available for PCD Reamers?
PCD Reamers are commonly supplied with straight shanks, providing reliable clamping, better concentricity, and stable performance in CNC machining centers as well as conventional reaming machines.
7.What are the advantages of PCD Reamers compared to carbide reamers?
PCD Reamers offer much longer tool life, higher wear resistance, consistent hole accuracy, and better surface finish compared to carbide reamers. They also reduce tool change frequency and improve productivity in mass production.
8. Can PCD Reamers be customized for specific applications?
Yes, Dedicated Impex offers fully customized PCD Reamers to meet specific machining requirements. Customization options include diameter, flute count, flute length, overall length, tolerance class, and cutting geometry. These tailored designs help achieve optimal tool performance, consistent hole accuracy, and longer tool life for different materials and operating conditions.
