I had turret lathes and screw machines. Everthing was short.?

Most drill bit are screw machine length even upto 2?" size.?

Reamers I buy long because it lower cost can cut the shank down.

I’m pretty sure you can figure out why “short shank” would be useful.

Opening the spindle bore is easy. LMS used to loan short shank reamers for that, until they didn't return. Doing it with a boring bar or adjustable reamer? is just a bit more tedious. (Did mine before the reamers vanished.)
