Adjustable reamer 74-84 mm NRZe finishes holes of any diameter from 74 to 84 mm. Set the diameter with two nuts that move the high-speed steel (HSS) blades in the inclined slots in the body. The shank has a diameter of 50 mm and a 40 mm square for a large tap wrench. Drills in this range are available in 1 mm increments and leave too much allowance. Therefore, bore the initial hole 0.05–0.15 mm smaller than the finished size.

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: 74-84 or 70-85 mm

Two reamers cover holes from 74 to 84 mm: 74-84 mm and 70-85 mm. Both have a 50 mm shank and a 40 mm square, so they use the same tap wrench. The 70-85 mm reamer also covers holes from 70 to 74 and from 84 to 85 mm. However, it is 110 mm longer, 510 versus 400 mm, and its blades are 22 mm longer. The 64-74 mm reamer extends to 74 mm but has a 39 mm square.

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 10 mm, from 74 to 84 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

1
Prepare the hole
0.05–0.15 mm smaller than the finished hole, e.g., 78.9 mm for 79.0 mm.
2
Set the diameter
Loosen one nut, move the blades with the other, then lock the first nut.
3
Fit the tap wrench
Fit it to the square and align the reamer with the hole axis.
4
Turn clockwise
Turn smoothly with light, even pressure.
5
Withdraw the reamer
Keep turning clockwise, including as the blades leave the hole.
✓
Check the hole
Too tight? Set a larger diameter and make a second pass.

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.

▲
Never turn counterclockwise

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 initial hole

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: 79 mm hole from a 78.9 mm initial hole

Allowance on diameter = finished hole diameter 79.0 mm − initial hole diameter 78.9 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 79.0 mm will remove it in one pass.

Finished hole [mm]Initial hole [mm]Diametral allowance [mm]Layer thickness at the wall [mm]Passes
74.073.90.10.051
79.078.90.10.051
79.078.80.20.12: set to 78.9, then 79.0
84.083.90.10.051

The 78 mm drill in the range would leave a 1.0 mm allowance for a 79 mm hole, or 0.5 mm per wall. This is approximately 6.7 times the amount the blades remove in one pass. The reamer is a finishing tool, so remove this amount beforehand by boring the hole. Remove a larger allowance from the initial hole, e.g., 0.2 mm, in two passes: to 78.9 and 79.0 mm.

Tap wrench and lubrication – what to prepare

Tap wrench for a 40 mm square and oil suited to the material

Tap wrench No. 9

The shank square measures 40 mm. Select an adjustable tap wrench to DIN 1814, size No. 9. It accommodates squares from 22 to 45 mm and fits M39–M110 taps. The smaller No. 8 tap wrench has an upper limit of 40 mm, right at the reamer's square size.

With oil or dry

Workpiece materialLubrication
Steel and cast steelcutting oil or emulsion
Aluminum alloyscutting oil or emulsion
Gray and malleable cast irondry
Bronze and brassdry

Remove chips from the reamer after use. Before adjusting the blades, also clean the body grooves so the blades move evenly.

Adjustable reamer 74-84 mm NRZe requires a bored initial hole and a tap wrench for a 40 mm square. The reamer is 400 mm long, with 123 mm blades. Leave the initial hole 0.05–0.15 mm smaller in diameter than the finished hole. A No. 9 tap wrench, designed for squares from 22 to 45 mm, fits the square. Always turn the reamer clockwise, including when withdrawing it from the hole.

Questions about size selection, tap wrench selection, and the initial hole

Frequently asked questions about hand reaming

Both fit holes from 74 to 84 mm and use the same tap wrench. The 70-85 mm reamer also covers holes from 70 to 74 and from 84 to 85 mm. The 74-84 mm reamer is shorter: 400 mm long versus 510 mm.

A No. 9 adjustable tap wrench, which accepts squares from 22 to 45 mm. The No. 8 tap wrench has a maximum capacity of 40 mm, exactly at the reamer's square size. Both sizes also fit large hand taps, from M25 to M110.

Bore the initial hole to a diameter of 78.85 to 78.95 mm, i.e., 0.05–0.15 mm undersize. A reamer set to 79.0 mm will remove this allowance in one pass. After a 78.8 mm initial hole, ream in two passes: to 78.9 and 79.0 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.
