Indexable reamers save on reconditioning costs

One of Mapal Inc.'s goals in developing the HPR400 Plus line of indexable-insert reamers was to minimize the time and costs associated with sending solid reamers out to be reconditioned. The tool's design does away with logistics costs, reports Mapal, adding that there's "no need for transporting [the reamers] to the manufacturer. WIP inventory and reconditioning costs are kept to a minimum." Additionally, the HPR400 Plus, intended for reaming larger diameters, comes with indexable inserts featuring four cutting edges instead of one. This lowers the volume of inserts a customer must stock.
