Common Questions About Bridge Reamers
What is a bridge reamer used for?
Bridge reamers are used to enlarge, align, and smooth out holes in structural materials like steel. They are commonly employed in construction projects, particularly in the creation of bridges, buildings, and large machinery, where precise hole alignment for bolts and rivets is essential.
How does a bridge reamer differ from a standard reamer?
Bridge reamers typically have a tapered point, which helps guide the tool into misaligned or undersized holes, making them easier to start. They are designed for heavy-duty applications and can handle tougher materials compared to standard reamers, which are often used for more precise and lighter tasks.
