Reamer: a Fluted Hand Reamer Turned, Fluted, Hardened and Stoned (Markham, 1908)

A reamer finishes a drilled hole smooth and to an exact size. E. R. Markham's Tool Making (1908) gives the fluted hand reamer step by step: turn it a little over size, cut an even number of flutes spaced slightly unevenly, harden it without letting it spring, then grind and stone the teeth to size. His tables give the number of teeth and the fluting cutter for each diameter. The 1/2 in example is ours, and so is plain steel bar for his "steel"; he does not name the hardening bath. Source: E. R. Markham, Tool Making (1908), pp. 30-35. Picture: his Fig. 33.

Read Markham

"Fluted reamers designed to remove but a small amount of stock, and intended to cut holes to an accurate size are rarely given less than six flutes."

Turn the blank

Take steel 3/32 to 1/8 in larger than the finished size (5/8 in for a 1/2 in reamer). Turn a chip 1/32 in deep off the outside and anneal it. Then turn the cutting part (B) and the short entering end (A) .010 to .015 in over the finished size, turn the shank (C) to finished size, and mill the end (D) square for a wrench. The end A is left slightly tapered so the reamer can enter the hole.

Choose teeth and cutter

Markham's numbers of teeth: - 1/8 to 7/16 in: 6 - 1/2 to 11/16 in: 6 to 8 - 3/4 to 1 in: 8 - 1 1/16 to 1 1/2 in: 10 - 1 9/16 to 2 1/8 in: 12 - 2 1/4 to 3 in: 14 His fluting cutters: No. 1 for 1/8 to 3/16 in, No. 2 for 1/4 to 5/16, No. 3 for 3/8 to 7/16, No. 4 for 1/2 to 11/16, No. 5 for 3/4 to 1, No. 6 for 1 1/16 to 1 1/2, No. 7 for 1 9/16 to 2 1/8, No. 8 for 2 1/4 to 3. A 1/2 in reamer gets 8 teeth and the No. 4 cutter. The cutter puts the tooth ahead of the centre with about 5 degrees negative rake, so it takes a smooth scraping cut.

Cut the flutes

Hold the reamer in the spiral (dividing) head of the milling machine. Cut one flute, turn the head half round (twenty turns of the index pin) and cut the opposite flute, so every tooth has one diametrically opposite for calipering. Space each neighbouring pair a few degrees (2, 3 or 4) off even spacing by moving the index pin a different number of holes. Cut to a depth that leaves a land about 1/5 of the distance between cutting edges: deeper makes weak, springy teeth, shallower leaves no room for chips.

Harden without springing

Heat the reamer evenly, in a muffle furnace if you have one (in a forge, inside a tube so the fire does not touch it, turned often). Quench it held upright, working it up and down in the hardening bath; the bath is not named. A reamer 1 in across or larger comes out of the bath when it stops singing and goes into oil until cold. Draw the temper to a light straw colour, heating evenly so it does not spring.

Grind and stone to size

On clean, true centres, grind the reamer to run true and to within .001 to .002 in of size. Back off each tooth for clearance with an emery wheel as large as will clear the next tooth, the tooth resting on an adjustable finger set so the edge is below centre; take light cuts all the way round, with a free-cutting wheel kept free of glaze, or the temper will draw. Grind the clearance to within .01 to .015 in of the edge, then bring the teeth to an edge and to size with oilstones, a medium stone then a fine one, never used dry.

History and honest limits

Markham taught machine-shop work at Harvard and the Rindge Manual Training School, and wrote Tool Making for the American School of Correspondence. He notes that odd numbers of teeth were once thought necessary, but an even number unevenly spaced works as well and is easier to caliper and grind. He says only "steel" and "the bath": the plain steel bar, the hardening bath and the 1/2 in example are ours.
