Tech Tips:
Chatter may result when speed is too high
Too low a feed may produce chatter and excessive reamer wear
Too high a feed may reduce hole size accuracy
When not enough material is being reamed, increase feed rate or decrease pre-reaming hole size
Reamer will follow the existing hole. Only end cutting reamers (like an end mill) can cut their own path
Standard reamer chamfer angle is 45 degrees. When starting the reamer if you run into difficulty, reduce the angle 30
