Seco has introduced the S Ream Core, a new family of solid carbide reamers aimed at general-purpose holemaking. The manufacturer places the range between its basic tooling and its high-performance Nanojet reaming solutions, describing it as an option for production work that needs dimensional accuracy without the cost of a premium tool.
Seco says the reamers are designed for reliable, cost-efficient reaming in P, M, K and N workpiece materials, and that the range is intended to deliver consistent hole quality, predictable tool life and a low cost per hole.
Simplified design for repeatable accuracy
Rather than adding features, Seco has trimmed complexity from the tool. The S Ream Core uses a streamlined geometry, standard inspection and a single universal coated grade across the range. According to Seco, that combination is meant to ensure repeatable IT7 precision in everyday production, where holding tolerances is essential but a high-performance solution may be an over-investment.
Geometry and stocked diameters
The reamers feature straight flutes and a 30° lead. Seco stocks 62 diameters, running from Ø1.461 mm to Ø11.960 mm (0.057 in to 0.470 in). Sizes outside that inventory can be ordered through the company's MyDesign service.
Position in a three-tier line
The S Ream Core sits in a three-tier reamer portfolio alongside the Plus and Max ranges. Seco presents the structure as a way to make tool selection clearer and more application-focused, with the Core range covering the standard end of the portfolio and the Plus and Max tiers above it.
