Seco has introduced S-Ream Core, a new family of solid carbide reamers for general-purpose reaming in P, M, K and N workpiece materials. The company positions the range between basic tooling and its high-performance Nanojet solutions. Seco says it is intended for everyday production where dimensional accuracy is essential but a premium solution may be an over-investment.

According to Seco, the range is designed to deliver consistent hole quality, predictable tool life and a low cost per hole. A streamlined geometry, standard inspection and one universal coated grade are intended to reduce complexity while maintaining repeatable IT7 precision. These design choices are presented as a way to avoid unnecessary tooling complexity in routine reaming.

S-Ream Core has straight flutes and a 30° lead. It is available in 62 stocked diameters from Ø1.461 mm to Ø11.960 mm (0.057–0.470 in.), with additional sizes offered through the MyDesign service. The stocked sizes span a working range from roughly 1.5 mm to 12 mm.

The product joins a three-tier reamer portfolio comprising Core, Plus and Max. Seco says the structure is intended to make tool selection clear and application-focused, with Core covering cost-efficient general-purpose work and the higher tiers addressing more demanding needs. The launch expands the company's reamer line with a standard option below its high-performance range.
