Seco Adds S Ream Core Solid Carbide Reamers for General-Purpose Reaming

A 62-diameter standard range with a single universal coated grade, positioned between basic tooling and Seco's high-performance Nanojet line.

Seco has introduced S Ream Core, a new range of solid carbide reamers built for reliable, cost-efficient reaming in P, M, K and N workpiece materials.

The tool is positioned between the company's basic tooling and its high-performance Nanojet solutions. According to Seco, it is aimed at everyday production where holding dimensional accuracy is essential but a premium solution would be an over-investment. The stated benefits are consistent hole quality, predictable tool life and a low cost per hole.

Simplified design for repeatable IT7 results

Seco attributes the range's repeatability to a streamlined geometry, standard inspection and one universal coated grade, which the company says removes unnecessary complexity while still delivering IT7 precision.

  • Straight flutes with a 30° lead
  • 62 stocked diameters spanning Ø1.461 mm to Ø11.960 mm (.057"–.470")
  • Further sizes available through the MyDesign service

Entry tier of a three-level portfolio

S Ream Core sits within a three-tier reamer portfolio — Core, Plus and Max — that Seco says is structured to make tool selection clear and application focused. The new range is presented for shops that need dependable hole quality across mixed materials without stepping up to a high-performance tool.
