Adjustable reamer 10.25-11 mm The NRZe finishes holes from 10.25 to 11 mm. Set the diameter with two nuts that move the high-speed steel (HSS) blades along inclined grooves in the body. For a 10.5 mm hole, use a 10.4 mm straight shank drill bit; for a 11 mm hole, use a 10.9 mm drill bit. Both leave an allowance for one pass. Operate it by hand with a tap wrench fitted over the square on the shank.
Manufacturers design adjustable blade reamers for repair and assembly work. They are useful wherever a hole needs to be fitted to the part at hand. The diameter is then set to the size of the part, rather than to the standard size series of fixed reamers.
Which size to choose: 10.25-11 or 10.5-12 mm
The 10.25-11 mm reamer has the same 6 mm shank, 4.8 mm square, and 140 mm length as the 10.5-12 mm reamer. Their adjustment ranges differ. This reamer and the 9.7-10.5 mm reamer cover holes from 10.25 to 10.5 mm. The 10.5-12 mm and 11-12 mm reamers cover holes from 11 to 12 mm.
How diameter adjustment works – blades and two nuts
NRZe reamer construction and measuring the diameter setting
The body has inclined grooves around its circumference, each holding an HSS blade. Two nuts, front and rear, retain the blades at both ends. Moving the blades along the grooves moves their cutting edges away from or toward the axis. This changes the cutting diameter over a range of 0.75 mm, from 10.25 to 11 mm. This is why the tool is also called an adjustable reamer.


Adjustment in three steps
First, loosen one nut. Then tighten the other — the blades will move to the new diameter. Finally, lock the blades by tightening the first nut. The rear nut, on the shank side, provides the main clamping force; the front nut is only snugged up. Tighten carefully. Excessive force bows the blades outward and causes the reamer to catch in the hole.
How to measure the set diameter
With an even number of blades, measure the diameter across two opposite blades using a micrometer. With an odd number, a groove lies opposite each blade, so the micrometer will read too low. In this case, use a setting ring or a hole of known diameter. Insert the reamer and expand the blades until they contact the hole wall.
How to ream step by step – tap wrench and clockwise rotation
Guidelines for using an adjustable hand reamer
Insert the reamer into the hole and apply light pressure so the blades engage the wall immediately. The tap wrench must fit the square closely to ensure smooth rotation without jerking. Align the reamer axis with the hole axis. For a longer hole, check the alignment with a square.
Hand reaming in six steps


As the blades emerge from the far end of the hole, resistance drops suddenly. Reduce pressure at this point, but maintain the same turning speed. Otherwise, the reamer will jump through the end of the hole and leave it uneven.
Turning counterclockwise in the hole dulls the blades and may chip them. It can also loosen a nut and change the setting. Turn clockwise when withdrawing the tool as well; otherwise, you will scratch the hole wall.
How much material one pass removes
Reaming allowance and drill bit selection
This tool finishes a hole rather than drilling it. It removes a thin layer: from 0.05 to 0.15 mm on the diameter in one pass. A smaller allowance produces a smoother wall. Too little allowance is detrimental, as the blades rub against the wall instead of cutting and become dull faster.


Calculation: 10.5 mm hole after drilling with a 10.4 mm drill bit
Allowance on diameter = finished hole diameter 10.5 mm − drill diameter 10.4 mm = 0.1 mm. Half of this, or 0.05 mm, is on each wall. This layer is thinner than a sheet of paper. A reamer set to 10.5 mm will remove it in one pass.
| Finished hole [mm] | Drill bit [mm] | Diametral allowance [mm] | Layer thickness at the wall [mm] | Passes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10.25 | 10.1 | 0.15 | 0.075 | 1 |
| 10.5 | 10.4 | 0.1 | 0.05 | 1 |
| 10.8 | 10.7 | 0.1 | 0.05 | 1 |
| 11.0 | 10.9 | 0.1 | 0.05 | 1 |
Remove a larger allowance, e.g., 0.2 mm after a 10.3 mm drill, in two passes. Set the first pass to 10.4 mm and the second to 10.5 mm. Two passes, preliminary and finishing, also produce the smoothest hole wall. However, each must remove at least 0.05 mm.
Tap wrench and lubrication – what to prepare
Tap wrench for a 4.8 mm square and oil suited to the material
Tap wrench No. 1
The shank square measures 4.8 mm, almost the same as the 4.9 mm square on M5–M8 hand taps. The same tap wrench therefore fits. Choose an adjustable tap wrench to DIN 1814, size No. 1. It accepts squares from 2 to 6.3 mm and fits M1–M10 taps. The smaller No. 0 tap wrench has a maximum capacity of 5 mm, just above the reamer's square size.
With oil or dry
| Workpiece material | Lubrication |
|---|---|
| Steel and cast steel | cutting oil or emulsion |
| Aluminum alloys | cutting oil or emulsion |
| Gray and malleable cast iron | dry |
| Bronze and brass | dry |
Remove chips from the reamer after use. Before adjusting the blades, also clean the body grooves so the blades move evenly.
Adjustable reamer 10.25-11 mm The NRZe has the same shank dimensions as the 10.5-12 mm reamer, but its range starts 0.25 mm lower. The reamer is 140 mm long, and its blades are 42 mm long. Prepare a 10.5 mm hole with a 10.4 mm drill bit and ream it in one pass. The 4.8 mm square is driven by a No. 1 tap wrench, the same one used for M5–M8 taps.
Questions about drill bits, size selection, and operation
Frequently asked questions about hand reaming
With a 10.4 mm straight shank drill to DIN 338. It leaves a 0.1 mm allowance on diameter. A reamer set to 10.5 mm will remove it in one pass.
Both have the same shank, square, and length. The 10.25-11 mm reamer also covers holes from 10.25 to 10.5 mm. The 10.5-12 mm reamer extends higher, to 12 mm.
Clockwise, just as when reaming. Clockwise rotation protects the blades and the hole wall. It also keeps the nuts in place, so the setting does not change.
Yes, at very low speed and with plenty of oil. At high speed, the hole may end up larger than the setting. Using a tap wrench provides the best control.
