- Standard reamers are constructed with a fixed diameter
- They are used only for holes that have a diameter equal to the reamer
- Straight flute reamers are the most common and are used in general purpose though-hole applications
- They are used for reaming holes without interrupted cuts
- Widely used by hand for the final sizing of drilled holes
- The square on the shank allows it to be held in either a tap wrench or a vise depending on whether it is the reamer or the part that is rotating
- A long starting taper allows for ease of entry and accurate alignment
- Square drive
