01P006 - Walter High-Speed Steel Reamer 3/8-Inch with 3-Flat Shank

Precision Hole Alignment and Enlargement

The Walter 3/8" Reamer (SKU: 01P006) is a premium cutting tool engineered for industrial maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO). Manufactured in the United Kingdom, this tool is crafted from top-tier High-Speed Steel (HSS), ensuring it maintains its cutting edge even under the thermal stress of continuous use. It is specifically designed to enlarge and align existing holes to precise tolerances, making it an indispensable asset for assembly lines, machine shops, and structural fabrication environments.

One of the standout features of this reamer is its shank design. The 3/8" shank is machined with three distinct flats. This geometric feature allows the jaws of a hand-held drill or drill press to grip the tool securely, preventing the common issue of the bit spinning inside the chuck under high torque. This ensures efficient power transfer and protects both the tool and the equipment from damage. The tapered nose of the reamer allows for smooth entry into misaligned or undersized holes, gradually cutting the material away to achieve the final 3/8" diameter.

Versatility is key in industrial settings, and the Walter 01P006 delivers. It is rated for use on a variety of tough materials, including aluminum, mild steel, and stainless steel. Whether you are correcting drilled holes that are slightly off-center or enlarging pilot holes for bolt clearance, this tool provides a clean, burr-free finish. Its robust construction reduces the frequency of tool replacements, offering excellent value for professional workshops.
