01P007 - Walter 7/16" HSS Car Reamer with 3-Flat Shank

Precision Hole Alignment with Walter High-Speed Steel Reamers

The Walter 01P007 7/16" Reamer is a testament to superior British engineering, designed specifically for the rigorous demands of industrial metalworking and maintenance operations. When precision and durability are non-negotiable, this high-speed steel (HSS) tool delivers exceptional performance. Manufactured in the UK, it is crafted to withstand the high temperatures and mechanical stresses associated with enlarging and aligning holes in tough materials like stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum alloys.

One of the primary challenges in metal fabrication and assembly is dealing with misaligned holes that prevent fasteners from seating correctly. This reamer features a tapered point that easily enters overlapping holes, gradually enlarging them to the precise 7/16" diameter required. The cutting edges are ground to exacting standards, ensuring a smooth finish and reducing the torque required to drive the tool through the workpiece. This efficiency not only speeds up assembly processes but also reduces wear on your power tools.

Safety and tool stability are paramount in heavy-duty applications. The Walter 01P007 is equipped with a robust 1/2" shank featuring three precision-ground flats. This design is critical for use with hand-held drills and magnetic drills, as it allows the chuck jaws to grip the tool securely. This positive drive mechanism prevents the reamer from spinning inside the chuck under heavy load, protecting both the tool shank and the drill chuck from damage while ensuring maximum power transfer to the cutting edge.

Whether utilized in a machine shop for maintenance repairs or on a production line for structural assembly, this reamer offers the reliability professionals expect from the Walter brand. Its HSS composition ensures it retains hardness at high temperatures, providing a longer service life compared to standard carbon steel alternatives. Invest in the Walter 01P007 for a tool that combines traditional manufacturing quality with modern performance standards.
