Cleveland C25322 Chucking Reamer Wire Size 18 Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C25322 is a straight-flute chucking reamer manufactured from high-speed steel and designed for precision hole finishing in machine tool applications. It carries a wire gauge size of 18, corresponding to a decimal diameter of 0.1695 inches, and delivers a bright uncoated finish straight from the factory. With an overall length of 4.5 inches and a flute length of 1.125 inches, this reamer is sized for light-duty finish reaming passes where tight tolerances and smooth bore surfaces are required. Six flutes provide stable cutting action and efficient chip clearance during the operation.

This chucking reamer is suited for use in drill presses, lathes, CNC machining centers, and manual milling setups where a pre-drilled or bored hole needs to be brought to final size. It is commonly used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials in precision manufacturing, maintenance, and repair environments. The straight shank allows direct chucking in standard drill chucks or collet holders without the need for a taper adapter.

Key Features

• Wire size 18 diameter — 0.1695 inches decimal equivalent for precision fitment
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials
• 6-flute straight design delivers smooth, stable cutting action and consistent surface finish
• Bright uncoated finish — no additional coating to affect final hole diameter tolerance
• Straight shank for direct chucking in standard drill chucks or collet holders
• Right-hand cut with standard flute geometry for conventional machine reaming

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in any machine tool setup accepting a straight-shank tool, including drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with an appropriate chuck or collet rated for the straight shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and operated by qualified machinists following standard machine tool safety practices. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the tool from the chuck or collet. Ensure the shank is seated fully and the chuck is tightened securely before starting the spindle. Always apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and achieve the target surface finish.
