Seco has added S Ream Core to its reamer offering, a new range of solid carbide reamers intended for reliable, cost-efficient reaming in P, M, K and N workpiece materials.
The tool sits between the company's basic tooling and its high-performance Nanojet solutions. Seco positions the range for everyday production where dimensional accuracy must be held but a premium tool may be more than the application requires, and it cites consistent hole quality, predictable tool life and a low cost per hole as the intended results.
Streamlined design aimed at repeatable IT7 precision
According to Seco, S Ream Core combines a streamlined geometry, standard inspection and one universal coated grade. The company states that this approach removes unnecessary complexity while still ensuring repeatable IT7 precision.
The reamers have straight flutes and a 30° lead. The range covers 62 stocked diameters from Ø 1.461 mm to Ø 11.960 mm (0.057 in. to 0.470 in.), with additional sizes available through Seco's MyDesign service.
Entry tier of a three-step portfolio
S Ream Core occupies the first step of a three-tier reamer portfolio — Core, Plus and Max — which Seco describes as a structure intended to make tool selection clear and application focused.
