The Pluto 5/8 X 7.1/2 X 9.1/4 X 0.633 X 0.4768 Inch Hand Taper Pin Reamer is a high-precision cutting tool designed specifically for reaming tapered holes to fit taper pins, which are commonly used for aligning and fastening mechanical components. This reamer is a hand tool, making it ideal for manual operation in applications where fine control and precision are needed. The reamer is made to create a smooth, uniform tapered hole that ensures a tight, secure fit for 5/8 inch taper pins.
Key Features and Specifications:
- Size and Dimensions:
- Reamer Diameter: The 5/8 inch (approximately 15.87mm) diameter is the size of the reamer at its cutting edge. This allows it to ream holes that are specifically designed to fit 5/8 inch taper pins.
- Flute Length: The 7.1/2 inches (approximately 190mm) flute length provides ample cutting surface for reaming deeper holes while maintaining control and stability throughout the reaming process. The long flute length ensures smooth and continuous cutting action for optimal hole finishing.
- Overall Length: The 9.1/4 inches (approximately 235mm) overall length provides sufficient reach for a variety of reaming applications, making the tool versatile enough to handle both shallow and deeper holes.
- Shank Diameter: The shank diameter is 0.633 inches (approximately 16.1mm), which allows the reamer to securely fit into a drill chuck or hand tool holder, providing a stable connection for consistent performance during reaming.
- Taper Pin Standard: The reamer is designed to match the taper pin standard, ensuring it creates tapered holes with the correct angle for 5/8 inch taper pins (typically a 1:48 ratio, meaning the hole diameter changes by 1 unit for every 48 units of length).
- Taper Design:
- The reamer is designed to create tapered holes, matching the precise angle needed for taper pins. The typical taper angle for a 5/8 inch taper pin is 1:48, ensuring that the hole fits the taper pin securely without any slippage or misalignment.
- This taper ensures that the pins can be driven into the hole and remain firmly in place, providing effective alignment and fastening.
- Cutting Material:
- High-Speed Steel (HSS): The Pluto hand taper pin reamer is generally made of high-speed steel (HSS), a material known for its strength, durability, and ability to maintain sharpness even under high-temperature conditions. This makes the reamer suitable for working with hard metals, such as steel, cast iron, and alloys.
- Carbide-Tipped Option: In some cases, the reamer may feature carbide tips on the cutting edges for improved durability and cutting performance, particularly when working with tougher materials or when extended tool life is required.
- Flute Design:
- The reamer features a spiral flute design, which helps in chip removal during the reaming process. This design helps to clear debris efficiently, preventing clogging and reducing the chance of the reamer binding as it cuts through the material.
- Spiral flutes also reduce friction, providing smoother cutting action, which results in a cleaner, more accurate hole while minimizing heat buildup, which can cause tool wear or material deformation.
- Hand Tool Operation:
- Designed for manual operation, the Pluto taper pin reamer is ideal for precise hole finishing where hand control is crucial. This is especially important when reaming holes in delicate or expensive materials that require careful handling.
- Hand reamers like this are also used when access to power tools is limited or impractical, or when a fine touch is required to achieve the exact hole dimensions.
Applications:
- Taper Pin Holes:
- The primary application of this reamer is to create tapered holes that fit 5/8 inch taper pins. Taper pins are used in many mechanical and structural applications for precise alignment and secure fastening.

- Jigs and Fixtures:
- Taper pins are commonly used in jigs and fixtures to precisely align components during the manufacturing process. The reamer ensures that the tapered holes in the jig or fixture are the correct size, allowing the pins to fit snugly and hold parts in place.
- Tooling:
- In tooling applications, taper pins are often used to align tooling components or to secure parts in place for accurate machining. This reamer is essential for creating the correct tapered holes to accommodate the pins.
- Custom Fabrication and Repair:
- In custom fabrication, as well as repair work, this hand reamer can be used to restore or create tapered holes that fit 5/8 inch taper pins. It is ideal for reaming worn or damaged holes that need to be re-sized to fit new pins.
- Precision Alignment:
- The reamer is ideal for precision alignment in various industries, ensuring that mechanical components are perfectly aligned for optimal operation. Taper pins are often used in applications where exact alignment is critical, such as in machine parts, automotive components, or aerospace assemblies.
