Alvord Polk 00158 Chucking Reamer 13/32 in Hss Straight

Product Description

The ALVORD POLK 00158 is a straight-shank chucking reamer machined from high speed steel and designed for precision hole finishing in metal workpieces. It carries a 13/32 inch (0.4062 inch decimal) cutting diameter and a 7 inch overall length, making it suitable for drilling machine chucks and CNC lathes where consistent bore sizing is required. The bright polished finish reduces friction during the cut and helps maintain dimensional accuracy. With 6 straight flutes and right-hand cutting direction, this reamer produces clean, round holes to close tolerances in a single pass. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers of this tool.

This chucking reamer is suited for general machining operations in job shops, production floors, and maintenance facilities. It is used to size through-holes and blind holes in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials where a drilled hole must be brought to a precise final diameter. The straight flute geometry makes it a reliable choice for materials that produce broken chips. It fits standard drill press and lathe chuck setups without special toolholders.

Key Features

• 13/32 inch (0.4062 inch) cutting diameter for precise hole finishing
• High speed steel construction for durability across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 6 straight flutes with right-hand cutting direction for clean chip evacuation
• Bright polished finish reduces friction and heat buildup during use
• 1-3/4 inch flute length accommodates typical hole depths in production work
• Straight shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, and CNC machining centers equipped with a straight-shank chuck or collet capable of holding a 13/32 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this reamer should be performed by qualified machinists following standard shop safety procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the reamer from the chuck. Secure the shank firmly in the chuck to prevent runout, which can damage flutes and produce oversized holes. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain bore finish quality.
