VersaDrive® Impact Reamer - Metric (501030)
- VersaDrive reamers are the perfect hole alignment and enlarging tool for metalworkers & steel erectors for keeping the job moving when a hole is misaligned or the incorrect size for the fixing.
- Featuring a specially designed 6 flute cutting geometry and Titanium coating, VersaDrive Reamers are fully Impact rated and perform fastest when used with an Impact Wrench providing ultimate cutting performance with virtually no powertool kickback.
- VersaDrive Reamers have a patented nonslip, Hex shank suitable for use in any standard 1/2” drill chuck for Pistol Drills or used with a VersaDrive Rapid Lock adapter for use in a wide range of powertools such as Magnetic Drills.
- Precision 6-flute design for smooth cutting
- Edge cutting design for hole enlargement, giving much better results that a drill bit
- Industrial grade Titanium Nitride coating reduces heat buildup and burn-out
- Use on Impact to prevent dangerous kickback caused by handheld rotary tools
- Heavy-duty hex shank design for secure non-slip operation
- Quality results on stainless steels and Inox - rotary application recommended
- VersaDrive patented shank and modular adapters provide unbeatable jobsite flexibility
- Impact-rated due to dual hardening process - allows up to 15X faster speed than traditional methods
BEST PRACTICE ADVICE GUIDELINE PARAMETERS ONLY - Actual parameters may vary depending on operating conditions.
- Apply firm, steady feed pressure throughout the cut, applying feed very slowly & cautiously during the first 1mm of cut.
- Avoid lateral movement or tilting which can cause damage to the tool.
- Do not attempt to increase the existing hole diameter beyond 2-3mm. If a larger, finished hole size is required, use the next size reamer to ‘step up’ until the finished hole diameter is reached.
- Ensure regular application of quality cooling lubricant, especially when drilling thick or hardened materials.
- Follow guidelines to set correct RPM speed. Incorrect RPM can lead to poor life or tool breakage.
- Flame cut, laser cut or punched holes may not be possible to ream with Impact Wrenches. In this situation ream with a slow speed Magnet Drill.
- Ensure a debris free surface of sufficient steel thickness for strong magnet hold when Magnet Drilling.
- Regularly check that Magnet Drill slides, handles, arbors and movable parts have not vibrated loose over time.
For Fastest Performance Use On Impact Wrenches & Impact Drivers
- Check the minimum torque requirement
- Reamer should be rotating before starting the cut
- Use steady feed pressure throughout the cut
