Custom 3-Step Reamer Eliminates Tool Changes, Slashes Cycle Times
Diatool can create custom reaming solutions that combine multiple reamers into a single tool, thus eliminating tool changes and significantly reducing cycle times. Previously three separate tools were required to process bores of x.xx”, y.yy” and z.zz”. Diatool’s custom 3-step monoblock reamer consolidates these into a single tool, eliminating two tool changes, saving 28 seconds per component, and 65 hours of machine time per year. In addition to substantial time and cost savings, the uneven spacing of cutting edges produces highly cylindrical and round bores at faster feed rates, outperforming single-point tools. The tooling requires no dial-in adjustments which simplifies use and reduces the risk of scrap parts. Enhanced chip removal prevents stringy chip buildup, reducing downtime and part damage. Diatool’s custom 3-step reamers deliver measurable savings and quality for high-precision applications, making them ideal for manufacturers looking to optimize operations. Diatool custom solutions are compatible with a wide range of materials including aluminum, steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys, in demanding industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical, and general machining.
