• Reaming allowance too small • Increase reaming allowance
• Cooling / lubrication problems • Change lubricant and increase coolant pressure

dnom
Conical hole • Misalignment between pre hole • Re-align or use a floating reamer chuck
(larger bottom) and reamer centers

dnom
Conical hole • Misalignment between pre-hole • Re-align or use a floating reamer chuck
