Yes it's true. DC-Coated carbides by USAY Inc. reams at amazing feed rates

For example: A 6-flute 1/2" diameter reamer cuts 2 inches per second at 1,800 RPM on soft steel alloys.

And we haven't forgotten other important factors; such as a finish of about 30 u-in Ra, the longest tool life, holes uniform to .0002 inches, etc.

If you require finishes of 15 u-in Ra, simply reduce the feed and speed by 50%.

Imagine what your production cost savings could be. At 2 to 3 cents per second, saving 7 seconds per hole could save you up to 21 cents per part! This may be all you need to turn a profit from a loss leader item!
