What happens when reamer rotates backwards?

The reamer will be dull soon. It shurely happens after ~ 3 reverse turns due to friction of metal chips (back angle of reamer's blade does not cut). It is very difficult to physically destroy an reamer by such way but there are 3 problems: 1. Dull reamer will "scrap" instead of "cut". Surface will be more rough and hole will be more inaccurate (bad roundness). 2. You HAVE to re-gring dull reamer to sharp its blades. 3. Re-grinded reamer will have smaller diameter - reamer will be inaccurate and inappropriate soon. Example: Typical diameter of new (metric) 10H8(+0,022) reamer is 10(+0,01;+0,015). Diameter of re-grinded reamer will be 10(+0,005;+0,01). After next re-grinding reamer will be 10+0,005 , next time 9,995+0,005, next time 9,99+0,005, 9,985+0,005 and so on. Reamer marked 10H8 with outer diameter 9,99+0,005 is inappropriate(9,995 is _smaller_ than 10. IT IS VERY BAD due to possible fit error).


What is the melting point for reamer?

A reamer is a tool, not a material. The melting point would depend on what material the reamer is made of.

What is cos of a negative angle?

The cosine function is an even function which means that cos(-x) = cos(x). So, if cos of an angle is positive, then the cos of the negative of that angle is positive and if cos of an angle is negative, then the cos of the negative of that angle is negaitive.

What are helicle gears?

helical gears offer a refinement over spur gears. The leading edges of the teeth are not parallel to the axis of rotation, but are set at an angle. Since the gear is curved, this angling causes the tooth shape to be a segment of a helix. The angled teeth engage more gradually than do spur gear teeth. This causes helical gears to run more smoothly and quietly than spur gears. Helical gears can be meshed in a parallel or crossed orientation. The former refers to when the shafts are parallel to each other; this is the most common orientation. In the latter, the shafts are non-parallel. For a crossed configuration the gears must have the same pressure angle and normal pitch, however the helix angle and handedness can be different. The relationship between the two shafts is actually defined by the helix angle(s) of the two shafts and the handedness, as defined: : : Where β is the helix angle for the gear. The crossed configuration is less mechanically sound because there is only a point contact between the gears, whereas in the parallel configuration there is a line contact. Quite commonly helical gears are used with the helix angle of one having the negative of the helix angle of the other; such a pair might also be referred to as having a right-handed helix and a left-handed helix of equal angles. The two equal but opposite angles add to zero: the angle between shafts is zero -- that is, the shafts are parallel. Where the sum or the difference (as described in the equations above) is not zero the shafts are crossed. For shafts crossed at right angles the helix angles are of the same hand because they must add to 90 degrees.
