Description
Golfsmith Straight Fluted Hand Reamer, 0.335
The Golfsmith Straight Fluted Hand Reamer (0.335") is a professional-grade club-repair tool engineered for clubmakers and golf technicians who demand precision when re-shafting woods and drivers. Designed specifically for 0.335" (8.5 mm) hosel bores, it finishes and re-conditions hosel walls to a high degree of accuracy and surface quality, ensuring the ideal epoxy bond between shaft and clubhead. Built to exacting specifications from high-speed steel, this reamer is the go-to choice for any serious workshop performing re-shafting operations on modern parallel-tip shafts.
- Professional re-shafting accuracy: Finishes and re-conditions 0.335" hosel bores to a high degree of accuracy and surface finish, ideal for re-shafting purposes.
- Optimal epoxy bond allowance: Made to exacting specifications to provide the perfect allowance between shaft and hosel for a strong, reliable epoxy bond.
- Controlled material removal: Removes up to 0.003" (0.1 mm) of material per side from standard-sized hosel bores — just enough to clean and true the bore without over-cutting.
- Extended tapered lead: Features slightly longer leads that guide and centralise the reamer precisely within the hosel bore for a perfectly aligned cut every time.
- High-speed steel construction: HSS material cuts through tough alloys including 17-4 PH stainless steel and 6AL-4V titanium hosels with ease.
- Dual-use versatility: Designed primarily for hand reaming, yet fully compatible with a drill press at or below 150 RPM for workshop use.
- 0.335" (8.5 mm) bore size: Matched to standard parallel-tip wood and driver shafts — the most common modern shaft tip diameter.
Precision Bore Conditioning
Over time, hosel bores can accumulate old epoxy residue, oxidation, and surface irregularities that compromise a new shaft bond. The Golfsmith Straight Fluted Hand Reamer cleans and re-conditions the bore wall with a controlled removal of up to 0.003" (0.1 mm) per side, restoring a smooth, consistent internal diameter. The result is a perfectly prepared surface that maximises adhesion when fresh epoxy is applied.
Tapered Lead for Self-Centering Entry
The reamer's distinguishing longer tapered lead acts as a self-centering guide as it enters the hosel bore. This prevents off-axis reaming that could enlarge the bore unevenly or damage the hosel. Whether used by hand with a square-stock handle or on a slow-speed drill press (max. 150 RPM), the tapered lead keeps the tool on-axis throughout the cut, delivering a concentric bore every time.
High-Speed Steel for Tough Modern Hosels
Modern clubheads use demanding alloys such as 17-4 PH stainless steel and 6AL-4V titanium. The Golfsmith reamer is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) specifically chosen to machine these hard materials cleanly without chipping or premature wear. Generous lubrication with cutting oil during use further extends tool life.
Hand Reaming or Drill Press Compatible
The tool is optimised for hand operation using a square-stock reamer handle (sold separately), allowing the craftsman to feel the cut and maintain full control. When higher throughput is needed, it can be mounted in a drill press running at 150 RPM or below. Slow cutting speed combined with a moderate feed rate and cutting oil produces the best surface finish and prolongs the tool's cutting edge.
