Alvord Polk 04014 Repairman Reamer 1 Inch Hss

Product Description

The ALVORD POLK 04014 is a straight-flute repairman's reamer designed for enlarging and truing existing holes to a precise 1-inch finished diameter. Built from high speed steel, this reamer delivers consistent cutting performance on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The tapered lead from a 3/8-inch small end diameter guides the tool into the hole before the full 1-inch cutting diameter engages. With a 1/2-inch round shank and a 4-1/2-inch flute length, the tool provides adequate chip clearance and rigidity for hand or machine use across a range of trade applications.

This reamer is suited for plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical service work where a field technician needs to clean up or size a drilled or punched hole without access to a full machine shop setup. The right-hand cut geometry and straight flute configuration make it effective in hand braces, drill presses, and portable electric drills. The 6-1/2-inch overall length gives the user reach in confined spaces typical of equipment cabinets, pipe chases, and mechanical rooms.

Installation Notes

Reaming work should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with metal cutting tools and safe machine or hand-tool operation. Secure the workpiece before use and ensure the reamer is properly seated in the chuck to prevent runout. Apply a suitable cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Do not force the tool through material faster than the cutting edge can clear chips, as this can damage the flutes or the workpiece.
