Copper pipe reamer

don_42

I was wondering if you guys know if they make reamers that
can be put in a cordless drill?

For 1/2 to 11/2 copper pipe.Boy my hands just hurt when I
use the one on the tubing cutter.

Thanks in advance.

Believe it or Not

I can't seem to find one. I'm guessing that the relatively high speed of even a VSR cordless drill would make the thing unstable and/or dangerous.

Have you tried one like the top "inner-outer reamer"? Much, much, much nicer, easier and quicker than the ones on the tube cutters.

Small pipe I use a tapered mechanics reamer ( Snap On ) , or what I really like is a Unibit

I've Only Ever...

...actually seen one, but I've seen pictures of several in old books - a reamer cone attached to a carpenter's brace. It's kind of a cordless drill, when you think about it

Bite the copper bullet....

and get yourself one of those handy Rigid copper pipe prep machines. It comes with a reamer attached, and a cleaner, and a cutter. Worth every cent...

In the mean time, I agree with the recommendation to buy yourself a Uni-bit. Once you learn how to use it properly, you can hold scratch cloth in one hand, and clean one end while you're de-burring the other end with your cordless VSD drill!!

Work smarter, NOT harder!

We use

A chop saw to cut copper and use a Ridgid inside/outside reamer (metal) to clean up the burrs.Not a whole lot there to ream,but it works fast and does a good job
