GENERAL HINTS
TOLERANCE LIMITS
1. ON THE CUTTING dIAMETER OF STANdARd REAMERS
The diameter (d ) is measured across the circular land immediately behind the bevel or taper lead. The tolerance is
1
in accordance with dIN 1420 and is intended to produce H7 holes.

2. ON A H7 HOLE
The most common tolerance on a finished hole is H7 (see table below). For any other tolerance the figure and table
beneath point 3 can be used to calculate the reamers tolerance location and width.

3. When it is necessary to define the dimensions of a special reamer intended to cut to a specific tolerance, e.g. D8,
this well proven guide can be used.

e.g. 10mm hole with tolerance D8, Max dia = 10.062, Min dia = 10.040, Hole tol (IT8) = 0.022
Maximum limit: 0.15 x hole tolerance (IT8) = 0.0033, rounded up = 0.004
Minimum limit: 0.35 x hole tolerance (IT8) = 0.0077, rounded up = 0.008
Maximum limit for reamer = 10.062 - 0.004 = 10.058
Minimum limit for reamer = 10.058 - 0.008 = 10.050
