About Us

Micron Precision is situated in Countesthorpe, Leicestershire and was established in 1990, primarily to repair single blade reamers and fine boring tools supplying them back to the customer in their original condition.
Micron Precision has slowly developed into the company it is today with quality machine tools and systems supplying precision special cutting tools to the uk manufacturing industry.
In 2002 the purchase of a six axis wire erosion machine allowed production of PCD combination boring, reaming and complex form tools.
The main area of business for Micron Precision is in the finishing of tight tolerance bores. In 2007 the development of the single blade reamer system Micro-Ream added another product to our catalogue of complex cutting tools.

Micro-Ream

Single blade reamers and fine boring tools designed and manufactured by Micron Precision. The reamer has two or more carbide or cermet guide pads strategically positioned to absorb the cutting forces applied, these are accurately ground and lapped to guide the tool through the bore.

The cutting blade is adjusted via the two adjusting screws, pushing onto an adjusting wedge which in turn pushes the blade out to it’s correct cutting diameter.

The reamer has a standard range of blades to accommodate the diverse range of materials used in today’s manufacturing industry.

  • Single blade reamers
  • Fine boring tools
  • Multi diameter fine boring tools
  • Fine boring tools with spot-facing / chamfering facilities
