Cleveland C24982 Taper Pipe Reamer 1/8 Inch Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C24982 is a taper pipe reamer designed to finish and size tapered pipe threads in metal workpieces. It features a spiral flute geometry with a left-hand spiral and right-hand cut, which helps pull chips away from the cutting zone and reduces chatter during operation. Built from high-speed steel with a bright finish, the C24982 is suited for use in production and maintenance environments where accurate pipe thread preparation is required. Licensed machinists, pipefitters, and plumbers rely on this type of reamer to achieve a proper taper fit before threading or fitting assembly.

This reamer is sized for 1/8 inch pipe applications, with a large-end diameter of 0.362 inches and a small-end diameter of 0.316 inches. The straight cylindrical shank allows it to be chucked in standard drill presses, lathes, or hand-held power tools. With an overall length of 2.125 inches and a flute length of 0.75 inches (19.05mm), the C24982 is compact enough for tight access points while still providing adequate chip clearance across 6 flutes.

Key Features

• Left-hand spiral, right-hand cut geometry reduces chatter and improves chip evacuation
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 6-flute design delivers a smoother finish and more consistent taper than fewer-flute alternatives
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chuck sizes for versatile machine or hand-tool use
• Bright finish provides corrosion resistance during storage and light use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment taper pipe reamer for 1/8 inch pipe sizing applications in plumbing, pipefitting, and general machining operations.

Installation Notes

This reamer should be installed by a qualified machinist, pipefitter, or plumber familiar with tapered pipe thread preparation. Secure the workpiece firmly before operation and apply cutting fluid appropriate for the material being reamed. Always bring the tool to a complete stop before removing it from the workpiece or changing chucks. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local plumbing or mechanical codes when preparing pipe threads for pressurized systems.
