Unlike turning or milling, reaming consistently produces fine chips. These remove only a limited amount of heat, meaning most of the heat is transferred to the tool substrate and coating. Efficient cooling and the correct cutting speed are therefore essential for consistently high quality.
Chip formation can be particularly challenging when machining soft materials such as low-alloy steel. By carefully selecting the tool geometry, coating, and substrate, precise and reliable machining results can be achieved.
