Titan Usa TR97603 Construction Reamer 7/8 in Hss 5 Flute

Product Description

The TITAN USA TR97603 is a high-speed steel construction reamer designed to enlarge and finish drilled holes to precise tolerances in structural and fabrication applications. The reamer measures 7/8 inches in diameter with a 4.5-inch flute length and a 6.875-inch overall length. A flatted 0.5-inch shank provides positive drive engagement in standard drill chucks and machine spindles. The five-flute, left-hand spiral geometry paired with right-hand cutting delivers smooth material removal and helps evacuate chips efficiently during operation. Finished with an oxide and gold coating, this tool is suited for use in ferrous and non-ferrous materials common in construction framing and ironwork.

Construction reamers like the TR97603 are used by ironworkers, structural fabricators, and millwrights to bring bolt holes in steel beams, plates, and structural members to final size before fastener installation. The spiral flute design makes this reamer effective in hand-held pneumatic or electric drills as well as drill press setups, where controlled feed rates improve finish quality and tool life. It is a single-piece, individually packaged tool suited for job-site and shop use.

Key Features

• 7/8-inch cutting diameter for standard structural bolt-hole sizing
• Left-hand spiral, right-hand cut geometry for efficient chip evacuation
• Five flutes for smoother finish and reduced chatter
• High-speed steel construction for durability in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Flatted 0.5-inch shank for secure chuck engagement and positive drive
• Oxide and gold coating for improved surface hardness and corrosion resistance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard construction reamer compatible with 0.5-inch flatted-shank drill chucks and machine spindles used in structural fabrication and ironwork applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with metal cutting tools and drill press or handheld power tool operation. Always secure the workpiece and ensure the shank is fully seated and tightened in the chuck before operation. Use cutting fluid when reaming steel to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and do not force the tool through material at excessive feed rates.
