Coolant is supplied from the shank to achieve high-precision machining of through-holes at a lower cost!
Outstanding chip evacuation by “GHI Reamer” + “Shank Groove”!
Reduced tool cost by using inexpensive standard materials
Good chip evacuation by left-hand spiral + shank groove
High precision machining unique to GHI reamers
Amazing facts!
── Introducing ideas and technologies ──
Shank-groove GHI reamers have a coolant groove on the shank periphery, which contributes to lower tool cost by using inexpensive standard materials.
The shank-groove GHI reamer can supply sufficient coolant to each cutting edge and maintain the same machining condition even after resharpening.
The left-hand spiral suppresses coolant dispersion when the rotation speed is increased and improves chip evacuation to the front side.
Reduced tooling costs
Good!
Increased coolant supply
Good!
This is the point!
Improved coolant spread control and chip evacuation
Excellent!
This is the point!
Coolant supply remains stable even after regrinding which leads up to 80% more lifetime between regrindings
Excellent!

The way the coolant hits the cutting edge changes with each regrinding
No matter how many times of regrinding, the way the coolant hits the cutting edge remains the same
Development / product concept
“Current status and challenges”
- Conventional through-hole reamers can apply coolant directly to the cutting edge, but are expensive due to the need for special materials.
- The coolant contact changes each time the reamers are reground, which reduces machining accuracy and tool life, and the increased frequency of re-grinding also increases tool costs.
“Development points”
- By directing coolant straight to the cutting edge along the shank, we developed a reamer with a uniform coolant contact and no effect on accuracy and tool life even after regrinding.
- By adopting standard materials, the cost of materials is kept low, and combined with shank-groove technology, contributes to lower tool costs.
