Please HELP - Is this a Reamer and for what use?

[Ecossis]

Can someone please help me identify what this is? I believe it is a Reamer but not sure for what purpose. Any help is appreciated.

Might be a flash hole de-burring tool?

 

[Ecossis]

Thanks! I was thinking that too as a possibility.

Looks like it goes on a Dremel tool. What is the diameter of this wheel?

That's simply a knurled handle with a set screw in it.

I have a small Unimat lathe and it has a small wheel that looks like this for checkering metal in a cross hatch pattern.

Flash hole reamer and debur. Matt

It appears to be a center drill in a home made knob-handle. I would say flash hole deburr tool. I doubt the drill part would ream the flash hole. It is just part of the tool to guide the deburr.

I can't get a good idea of the size , is the tip black ? It could be a homemade holder with a diamond tipped stone facer

Look at it close Gary. The tip is a center drill.

I can't Butch , sat on my new glasses , have to use my old pair for a week or so . Enlarging it on the I pad doesn't even help ! No machine shop for me this week .

Is that really a center drill in there? It just looks like the end of a reamer is mangled up to me i cant see the drill part and the flutes of the reamer line up with it

Same here. Looks like an amateur sharpened straight flute drill locked in a knurled piece of aluminum round stock for a handle.

We don't know because the lighting is poor. Pretty hard to drill something that size with your fingers.

Looks exactly like my K&M. It drills and deburs. I use it by hand. In the picture it looks like the tip is messed up. Matt

What??? The YouTube machinists do it all the time.

 

[butchlambert]

Matt, My K&M is a center drill. I can see it cleaning a flash hole, but not drilling anything, especially by finger power.

Download and blow up the photo. It doesn't look anything like a center drill. Alternatively, click on the "open in new window" icon in the upper right hand corner and then hit the magnifying glass icon.

Maybe somebody will do it and then we can make a better determination.
