Drill Reamer for Spot Welds GEKO G38255 8x80 mm HSS

The GEKO Drill Reamer for Spot Welds G38255 8x80 mm HSS is a solid high‑speed steel tool intended for removing and reaming spot welds in metalworking and bodywork repair. With working dimensions of 8 x 80 mm, the tool provides controlled penetration and reaming of weld spots when used with hand drills or drill presses. Its HSS construction offers wear resistance and maintains cutting performance during repeated operations on sheet metal and lap joints.

Advantages

The solid HSS material ensures consistent cutting performance and durability under frequent use. The 8 mm diameter and 80 mm working length provide a balance between access depth and stability during drilling, enabling precise removal of spot welds. The geometry of the reamer is optimised for controlled chip evacuation and reduced vibration when used at appropriate speeds in metal repair tasks.

Suitable for

• Removing spot welds on automotive body panels
• Preparing lap joints for separation or further welding
• Metalworking tasks requiring controlled reaming of sheet metal
• Use with hand drills and drill presses in repair shops

Key specifications

• Material: high‑speed steel (HSS)
• Working diameter: 8 mm
• Working length: 80 mm
• Design: solid reamer for spot weld removal
• Intended use: manual or machine drilling for weld spot reaming

How to use

Secure the workpiece and mark the spot welds to be removed. Mount the drill reamer in a suitable chuck of a hand drill or drill press, ensuring firm clamping and correct alignment. Start at low to moderate speed, applying steady axial pressure to penetrate the weld spot, then continue to ream through until the weld is cleared. Use cooling or intermittent operation as required to control temperature and prolong tool life. After removal, deburr the edge and inspect the joint before further separation or welding.

Usage recommendations

Operate the tool at recommended speeds for HSS in sheet steel, avoid excessive feed to prevent bending or chatter, and use cutting fluid when working with thicker or higher‑alloy steels. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves, and ensure the drill is securely mounted to minimise runout and ensure precise reaming.
