Cleveland C24986 Taper Pipe Reamer 3/4 Inch Pipe Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C24986 is a taper pipe reamer designed for finishing and sizing threaded pipe openings to a standard 3/4 inch pipe taper. Built from high-speed steel with a bright finish, it delivers consistent material removal in ferrous and non-ferrous pipe fittings and valves. The tool measures 0.962 inches at the large end and 0.876 inches at the small end, with an 8-flute left-hand spiral, right-hand cut configuration. This geometry reduces chatter and produces a smooth bore finish. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly into drill press or machine tool chucks for repeatable alignment on the job.

This reamer is suited for pipe fabrication, maintenance, and repair work in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications. It is used wherever a tapered pipe seat must be brought to proper diameter before threading or fitting assembly. The 1-3/8 inch flute length accommodates typical pipe wall thicknesses encountered in residential and light commercial installations. Machinists, pipefitters, and plumbers working on copper, steel, and cast-iron pipe bodies are the primary users of this tool.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this reamer should be performed by qualified machinists or licensed pipefitters familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the straight shank firmly in a drill press or lathe chuck before operation, and confirm the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the pipe material being reamed to extend tool life and improve bore finish. Inspect the reamer for chipping or wear before each use and remove from service if cutting edges are damaged.
