Westward 4LGU1 Adjustable Hand Reamer 1 13/16-2 7/32 16 HSS

Adjustable hand reamer range

The Westward 4LGU1 is an adjustable blade hand reamer built for fractional-inch work between 1 13/16 in and 2 7/32 in. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need to finish or enlarge holes to precise diameters on site. High-speed steel construction gives the cutting edges the hardness required for repeated use in steel and cast iron.

Practical limits of hand reaming

The tool covers a single adjustment span from 1 13/16 in to 2 7/32 in, so holes outside that window need a different reamer. Cutting action is manual, meaning material removal rate depends on operator force and lubrication rather than machine power. The 16-flute design helps distribute chip load but does not replace the need for proper cutting fluid in tough alloys. Buyers who need a wider diameter range or powered cutting will need additional tooling.

Build quality and daily use

High-speed steel blades resist wear and hold an edge longer than carbon steel equivalents in general workshop materials. The adjustable mechanism locks the blades at the chosen size, so the setting stays consistent through a batch of holes. A T-handle or wrench engages the square drive for controlled rotation in tight spaces. The tool has no motor, battery or electronic parts, so it operates wherever hand access is possible without setup time.
