- Types of hand reamer:
- Parallel hand reamer with a parallel shank
- Hand reamer with pilot
- Socket reamer with a parallel shank

Straight and helical fluted reamers
- Helical fluted reamers are particularly suitable for remain holes having keyway grooves or special lines cut into them.
- Straight flute reamers are useful for general reaming work.

- Pilot reamers have a cylindrical body and pilot keeps the reamer concentric with the hole being reamed.
