Seco has added S-Ream Core to its reaming lineup, introducing a solid carbide reamer range for general-purpose use in P, M, K and N materials. The company places the new line between basic tooling and its high-performance Nanojet solutions, describing it as a cost-efficient option for production work that requires dimensional accuracy without the cost of a premium tool. Seco says the range is aimed at everyday production where maintaining hole tolerance matters, but where a premium reamer may represent an over-investment.
According to Seco, S-Ream Core is designed to provide consistent hole quality, predictable tool life and a low cost per hole. A simplified geometry, standard inspection and one universal coated grade are intended to reduce complexity while maintaining repeatable IT7 precision. These are the company's stated design goals; the announcement does not include independent test results or customer case data.
The range has straight flutes and a 30-degree lead. It includes 62 stocked diameters from 1.461 mm to 11.960 mm (0.057 in to 0.470 in), with other sizes available through Seco's MyDesign service. S-Ream Core fits into a three-tier reamer portfolio alongside Core, Plus and Max, which the company says is intended to make tool selection clearer and more application-focused.
