Reaming Specifications and Procedures:
Reaming speeds should be approximately half of those used for drilling the same material. High-speed steel reamers have specific speed guidelines, while carbide or diamond-tipped reamers can operate faster. For close tolerances and fine finishes, slower speeds are necessary. Feeds in reaming are generally higher than drilling, ranging from 0.04MM to 0.10MM per flute per revolution. The goal is to use the highest feed possible while maintaining required finish and accuracy.

Reamer Tolerances:
Bordo reamers are designed to produce holes to H7 tolerance. The tolerance limits vary based on the nominal reamer diameter, with specific increments provided for different diameter ranges.
