A reamer head for a reamer includes one or more blades separated by flutes. Each flute has a front core region proximate a front end of the cutting portion, a rear portion proximate a rear end of the cutting portion and the middle core region therebetween. The front core region has a thickness, T1, the middle core region has a thickness, T2, and the rear core region has a thickness, T3. The thickness, T2, of the middle core region is greater than the thickness, T1, of the front core region and the thickness, T3, of the rear core region. A method of making the reamer head is also disclosed.
A reamer, comprising:
An annular reamer head for a reamer comprising one or more blades separated by flutes, each flute comprising a front core region proximate a front end of the cutting portion and a rear portion proximate a rear end of the cutting portion, wherein the rear core region includes an angled wall for directing coolant within each flute.
A method of making a reamer head, comprising:
