Cutter plate for a single cutter reamer and process for reaming bores with such a cutter plate

摘要

Reamers, when operated with large amounts of material removed and at high reaming speeds, encounter difficulties when they ream in material in which permanent structural changes occur on the application of heat and subsequent rapid cooling. These difficulties are avoided in that the transition region between the main cutting edge and the minor cutting edge follows a constantly curved path at least one end region of which runs tangentially to at least the minor cutting edge.
