B
Left hand spiral fluted reamer
C
Right hand spiral fluted reamer
D
Any one of these
Correct Answer: Right hand spiral fluted reamer
Right hand spiral reamers should be selected for blind holes.- Additionally a right hand spiral also helps bridge interruptions such as cross-holes or keyways.
- A right hand spiral reamer may cut slightly oversized holes due to the aggressive flute geometry.
- They perform very well in highly ductile materials.
