Set of reamers for £12.99 (Bargain)

I don't think it is normal to even try

They are so cheap that i bought 2 of them . 1x 130mm long and the other one i cut in half for normal jobs. I think it's good enough reason, especially when now i have 2 sets of inserts, one for aluminum and one for steel and cast iron. I think even that the aluminum ones will be good for plastic. Just as a side note that these are side cutters, they can not plunge. and the 12mm one is one flute only

Be nice to see a pic of them Boyan. Its not uncommon for shanks of that kind of tooling to be soft ish and are often are tough rather than hard, depends on manufacturer and quality but sometimes hard is not good and its promotes resonance rather than curing it. Most cutters like that you can't plunge with. but are perfectly capable of ramping and helical ramping to get the tool down if the machine will allow and take the load.

The rest of the them arrived today in 2 more packets.

Measured the 10 mm reamer with digital calipers and they were 10.00 mm. I know there is a tolerance those calipers but it seems good so far.

I've received two so far, in two separate envelopes... What a funny way to run a business!

Same here, 7mm and 8mm Tried the 8mm as I had an 8mm dowel pin the try in the hole and it's a nice slide in fit.

Hopefully the other will come in the next few days.

Thank god for that thought i'd been ripped off.!! . . .Again. . . . . . only 7mm landed so far. Maybe it's like those Monthly magazines you get one each month and in no particular logical order. Lol

On Plus note can re-use the Jiffy bags so save few sheckles.,

Probably cheapest way to buy jiffy bags

I got the 7mm one on Thursday and my first reaction was that I had misread the listing and it was only the 7mm one from a set. so I fired off a refund request and got the reply that they would refund £2 and I could keep the reamer. The rest of the set arrived on Saturday, so I cancelled the complaint and sent them a message that they were running their business in a twattish way (not my exact wording).
Either they are sending out from two different locations, or they have an idiot in charge.

Who cares ! The reamers are OK for the price.

Here's a question about reamers - I acquired a NIKKEN NCS tool bit that looks like a rotary broach, or a long shanked, downcut, slot cutter with a funny end, but it is marked 7.873 +/- 0.0126. I presume that this is calculated to make an 8mm hole. Am I right in this assumption ?

Cheers,

Rob
