Hybrid reamers generally fall into two main categories based on their activation mechanism:

A leading aerospace manufacturer used hybrid reamers to machine holes in titanium alloy engine components. The hybrid reamers consisted of carbide cutting edges and HSS bodies. The results showed:

Unlike a standard reamer (which usually just enlarges an existing hole) or a standard drill bit (which cuts a fixed diameter), the "Hybrid" designation implies it combines the functions of a and an underreamer or incorporates features of both fixed-cutter and roller-cone technologies.
