Alvord Polk 10005 Chucking Reamer 0.0305 in Hss Straight Shank

Product Description

The ALVORD POLK 10005 is a straight-shank chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking and machining applications. Built from high speed steel with a bright polished finish, this reamer delivers accurate, repeatable results in production and repair environments. The cutting diameter of 0.0305 inches holds a tight tolerance of +0.0002 to -0.0000 inches, making it suitable for close-tolerance bore work where dimensional accuracy is critical. With four flutes and right-hand cutting direction, it provides smooth chip evacuation and consistent surface finish. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians use this tool in drill press and lathe chuck setups.

This reamer is suited for small-diameter bore finishing in light metals, alloys, and similar materials where a precise fit is required. The straight shank allows direct clamping in standard chucks without the need for a taper adapter. The 0.5-inch flute length is appropriate for shallow-to-moderate depth holes typical in precision component manufacturing, fixture work, and mechanical assembly operations. It is a single-unit tool intended for benchtop machine use in shop environments.

Key Features

• 0.0305-inch reamer diameter with tolerance of +0.0002 to -0.0000 inches for close-tolerance bore finishing
• High speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright polished finish reduces friction and aids chip flow
• Four-flute, right-hand cutting geometry for smooth, consistent material removal
• Straight shank for direct mounting in standard drill press or lathe chucks
• Compact 2.5-inch overall length suits benchtop and light-production machine setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use chucking reamer for small-diameter bore finishing applications requiring a 0.0305-inch straight-shank tool.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed by licensed machinists or qualified tool operators using standard drill press, milling machine, or lathe chuck setups. Always secure the workpiece fully and ensure the spindle runs true before engaging the reamer. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain surface finish quality. Never use a reamer to remove more material than the tool is rated to clear in a single pass.
