  • The solid carbide reamer range is positioned between basic tooling and Seco’s Nanojet line for routine production requiring repeatable IT7 holes.
  • Seco has introduced the S-Ream Core, a solid carbide reamer range for P, M, K and N materials, with 62 stocked diameters and a universal coated grade. It is positioned for general-purpose production where repeatable IT7 accuracy and low cost per hole matter more than premium tooling.

Seco has introduced the S-Ream Core, a new range of solid carbide reamers intended for reliable, cost-efficient reaming across P, M, K and N materials. The company positions the range between basic tooling and its high-performance Nanojet solutions, targeting everyday production where dimensional accuracy is essential but a premium tool may be an over-investment.

According to Seco, the S-Ream Core is designed to provide consistent hole quality, predictable tool life and a low cost per hole. Its streamlined geometry, standard inspection and one universal coated grade are intended to reduce unnecessary complexity while maintaining repeatable IT7 precision. The tools have straight flutes and a 30-degree lead.

The range includes 62 stocked diameters from Ø1.461 mm to Ø11.960 mm (0.057 in to 0.470 in), with additional sizes available through the company’s MyDesign service. Seco places the product within a simple three-tier reamer portfolio—Core, Plus and Max—that is intended to make tool selection clear and application-focused.

For manufacturers, the introduction expands the choice between basic reaming tools and higher-performance options. Seco’s claims focus on repeatability and cost per hole in general-purpose production; the range is presented as a way to address routine dimensional requirements without adopting a premium solution. The stated IT7 precision, stocked size coverage and custom-size route define the product’s intended application envelope.
