Calculation of Loads and Forces Regarding the Reaming Process. 1

[ukhal]

Has anyone any information regarding the calculation of torque, thrust and power requirements regarding reamers.
I am mainly iterested in reaming plain carbon steels, but I would be happy with any pointers you can give.

I was thinking the calculations for core drilling would apply. However, I cannot find much on that either.

Thanks in advance.
