What is High-Speed Steel (HSS) Reamer?

A High-Speed Steel (HSS) Reamer is a precision tool used to enlarge and finish drilled holes to high precision. HSS reamers are appreciated for their outstanding retention of heat, high durability and well anti-wear, so they are used in machining applications that require a smooth surface and a high precision hole.
