What is a rifling button?

Rifling buttons are precision carbide tools used to form grooves and resize bores in tubular components. These tools come in a variety of sizes, ranging from small diameters to larger bore applications. They can be ground with any helical twist, either right- or left-handed, and are available in different styles, including groove-only, bore-only, or a combination of both.

How does a chamber reamer work?

A chamber reamer is a specialized fluted tool used to precisely cut the chamber of a barrel. The process involves inserting the reamer into the bore while the barrel rotates around it, usually using a lathe. This technique ensures the chamber is shaped to exact specifications, allowing for proper cartridge fitting and function.

What is the difference between reamer and drilling?

IDrilling, boring, and reaming each play a unique role in hole-making. Drilling is the first step, creating a basic hole. Boring then enlarges and shapes it to the desired size. Finally, reaming finishes the hole, providing precision dimensions and a smooth, accurate surface for optimal performance.

What is the rule for reaming?

The general rule for reaming is to leave 0.010" to 0.015" of material after the drilling operation for the reamer to remove. For small diameters, like 1/32" or less, this should be reduced to 0.003" to 0.006". It's often more effective to use a percentage of the hole size rather than a fixed range for optimal results.

What is the principle of a reamer?

A reamer works by being inserted into a pre-drilled hole that is slightly smaller than the final required size. As the reamer rotates, its cutting edges gradually remove a thin layer of material, enlarging the hole with precision and providing a smooth surface finish.

Hammerton is a leading manufacturer of precision carbide tools for the firearms industry, specializing in rifling buttons, pull bore reamers, hammer forging mandrels, and rifle/bore gauges. Our products are designed to deliver exceptional accuracy and durability, ensuring that your barrels meet the highest performance standards.

Rifling Buttons

Hammerton’s rifling buttons are designed to form rifling grooves and resize bores in gun barrels. Available in sizes from 14 caliber rifles to 10 gauge rifled shotguns, these buttons can be customized with any helical twist—right or left-handed. Whether you’re using a push or pull method, our buttons provide consistent, high-quality results. For extended tool life and enhanced barrel finishes, we recommend coatings like Titanium-Nitrate (TIN) or Titanium Aluminum Nitrate (TIALN/Futura Nano).

Our rifle buttons are made to your exact specifications, taking into account factors like material, hardness, and wall thickness of the barrel blank. This attention to detail ensures accurate sizing, especially when stress-relief processes are planned.

Pull Bore Reamers

Hammerton’s multi-flute pull bore reamers, available in 4 or 6 flutes, are designed for precision bore sizing. Pulled or pushed through gun-drilled barrels, these reamers remove imperfections and ensure a clean, accurate bore. With coolant flowing through the tool, we ensure optimal performance and an excellent surface finish inside the barrel.

Hammer Forging Mandrels

For manufacturers utilizing the hammer forging process, Hammerton offers high-impact carbide mandrels. These tools feature precision-ground rifling patterns that ensure accurate reproduction of the barrel’s interior. We maintain tight tolerances to guarantee perfect results every time.

Rifle/Bore Gauges

To measure the internal dimensions of rifled barrels, Hammerton produces carbide rifle and bore air gauges. These tools meet SAMMI barrel specifications and provide precise measurements when paired with air columns and master setting rings. Ensure your barrels meet exact standards with our reliable gauges.
