Eagle Cutting Tool CR-5000-60-I Hss Center Reamer 60 Degree

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL CR-5000-60-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) center reamer designed for precision countersinking and center-hole finishing in metal workpieces. Built with a 60-degree included angle and three flutes, this tool produces accurate, clean center bores used as drive or support points in lathe and machining operations. The 1/2-inch cutting diameter is paired with a 3/8-inch shank, making it compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders found in machine shop environments. The imitation finish on the HSS body provides basic surface protection during storage and use. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and CNC operators are the primary users of this style of center reamer.

This center reamer is suited for use in machine shops, maintenance and repair operations (MRO), and production environments where workpieces require precise center holes prior to between-centers turning or grinding. It is applicable to ferrous and non-ferrous metals where a 60-degree center angle is the required standard. The 3/8-inch shank fits directly into common drill press chucks, milling machine collets, and lathe tailstock chuck arrangements without adapters in most setups.

Key Features

• 60-degree included angle matches standard center-hole geometry for lathe and grinding work
• Three-flute design provides balanced cutting action and improved surface finish in the bore
• High-speed steel construction maintains cutting edge integrity across a range of metal materials
• 1/2-inch cutting diameter with 3/8-inch shank for broad chuck and collet compatibility
• Imitation finish provides basic corrosion resistance during handling and storage

Compatibility

Designed as a standard HSS center reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a 3/8-inch or larger chuck or collet capable of accepting a 3/8-inch shank.

Installation Notes

Installation of this center reamer is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Secure the 3/8-inch shank firmly in the chuck or collet before operation, and ensure the spindle is fully stopped before tool changes. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Inspect flutes for wear or chipping before each use and replace the tool if cutting edges are compromised.
