Seco has added the S Ream Core to its hole-finishing lineup: a new range of solid carbide reamers designed for reliable, cost-efficient reaming in P, M, K and N workpiece materials. The tool is positioned between basic tooling and the company's high-performance Nanojet solutions, addressing everyday production work where maintaining dimensional accuracy is essential but a premium reamer would be an over-investment.
According to Seco, the design is deliberately simple. A streamlined geometry, standard inspection practice and one universal coated grade are intended to eliminate unnecessary complexity while still delivering repeatable IT7 precision. The stated benefits are consistent hole quality, predictable tool life and a low cost per hole, which is how the company frames the range's economics rather than peak cutting performance.
Stock specifications cover:
- Straight flutes with a 30° lead
- 62 stocked diameters from Ø1.461 mm to Ø11.960 mm (0.057–0.470 in.)
- Additional sizes available through the MyDesign service
The reamer sits within a simplified three-tier portfolio — Core, Plus and Max — which Seco says makes tool selection clearer and more application-focused. S Ream Core occupies the entry level of that structure, with the higher tiers reserved for work that justifies more capable tooling.
