Drill, Taps & Reamers: The Most Accurate Hole Cutting Tools on The Market
Drills, taps, and reamers are all cutting tools. These drilling and hole making tools are used in metalworking, machining, and other manufacturing processes to create, enlarge, or shape holes in various materials, including metals, plastics, and wood.
- Drilling involves using a drill bit (or end mill) which rotates on its axis while being pushed through a predrilled hole in order to create a new circular shaped hole.
- Tapping uses an external cutting device that threads itself into pre-existing threads in order to cut them further.
- Reaming uses a reamer to enlarge or smooth out existing holes and enhance the surface finish of the hole’s walls.
Depending on your application there are both hand and machine reamer drill bits;
Hand reamers are manually operated and have a wrench to apply the required pressure.
Machine reamer are used with various mechanical tools including drill presses, lathes and screw machines and there are a choice of solid carbide and high-speed steel (HSS) varieties.
Drill, Tap & Reamer bits are available in many different configurations, thread forms and sizes to fit multiple applications. Ensuring you have the right size, and the right type of drill bit, tap or reamer is a key factor to making accurately sized and good quality holes.

FAQS
Hand tools are made from hardened metals that stay sharp for a long time, but with use any chisel, planer or knife they will become blunt. Here’s how to sharpen them and give your blades a new lease of life.
Before you begin, you’ll need a sharpening stone and some lubricant. It’s also a good idea to have a honing guide on hand if this is your first time hand sharpening tools.
Take care to match the original angle of the blade, and use as few strokes as possible as you pass the blade smoothly across the sharpening stone. The goal is to remove as little material as necessary while bringing the edge back to its original sharpness. Keep the blade lubricated as you sharpen.
One of the best precautions you can take when using hand tools is to ensure the blades are kept sharp. A blunt tool is not only ineffective, it can cause you to exert excess pressure and put yourself at risk of injury. And to avoid slippage, always keep your hands dry and clean off any oil or grease.
As common as they are, striking tools are dangerous when improperly used. Striking tools can crush fingers, toes and other body parts. Improperly maintained striking surfaces may cause chips, or splinters of metal to fly into the air.
Wear eye protection at all times, and be sure to use the right tool for the job—improper use of hand tools can lead to shoddy work, broken tools, or even serious injury.
