FLUTE STYLES
- Straight Flutes - Good in a wide variety of applications
- Right Spiral Flutes - Tend to bridge interruptions such as keyways, slots or intersecting holes; Good chip clearing ability for ductile materials and blind holes
- Left Spiral Flutes - Also tend to bridge interruptions; Good for cast irons, heat treated steels and other hard materials; Do not use in blind holes
- Expansion Reamers - Economical for abrasive materials
