Type of reamer used for reaming operation in blind hole?

  • A.Straight fluted reamer
  • B.Left hand spiral fluted reamer
  • C.Right hand spiral fluted reamer
  • D.None of the above

Answer: C

A blind hole is reamed with a right hand spiral fluted reamer.

In a blind hole the chips have nowhere to go ahead of the tool, so they must be carried back out. A right-hand spiral on a right-hand cutting reamer lifts the chips up the flutes and out of the hole, the way a twist drill does.

A left-hand spiral does the opposite: it pushes chips ahead of the reamer, which suits a through hole, where they can fall out of the far end, and would pack them into the bottom of a blind hole. A straight fluted reamer is the general-purpose type and does not clear chips in either direction, so it is not the specific choice for blind holes.
