Adjustable Hand Reamer for Fractional Inch Holes
The Westward 4LGT9 is an adjustable hand reamer built for fractional inch work between 1 1/2 in and 1 13/16 in. It is made from high speed steel for durability in general workshop use. Machinists and maintenance technicians reach for it when a drilled hole needs precise finishing to size.
Simple Adjustment with Standard Wrenches
Loosen the lock nut, turn the adjusting nut to expand or contract the blades, then retighten to hold the setting. The mechanism uses common wrench flats so no special tools are required. Over-tightening the lock nut can bind the blades, while a loose setting lets the reamer chatter and cut oversize.
Practical Limits of Hand-Powered Reaming
The tool removes only a few thousandths of an inch per pass and relies on steady hand pressure and cutting fluid. It cannot correct large location errors or heavy stock removal. Hardened steels and abrasive alloys will dull the high speed steel edges quickly, so the reamer is best suited to mild steel, cast iron and non-ferrous metals.
