RHM System Enhances Flexibility Of Reaming Kennametal has introduced the RHM modular reaming system, which enhances the flexibility of high-speed reaming. The RHM uses high-precision, interchangeable reamer heads with respective steel bodies. It reduces tool setup time and machine downtime. The heart of the system is the KST (Kennametal Short Taper) coupling system. Similar to the KMTM system, the KST system provides simultaneous taper-face contact, resulting in less than three microns run-out and a rigid union. Two drive flats on the reamer shank and in the tool body foster symmetrical torque transmission for higher speeds and feeds. Two clamping options are available. The radial clamping system makes for fast head changes inside the machine and provides quick and easy clamping.The axial clamping system is economical and features a differentially pitched clamping screw, which provides low actuating torque. It also consists of fewer parts. Both systems require minimal training ...
