Hertel 2290823 Chucking Reamer 1-1/2 in Hss 10 Flute

Product Description

The HERTEL 2290823 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to finish-ream bored or drilled holes to a precise 1.5000 inch diameter. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers consistent dimensional accuracy in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard chucks on drill presses, lathes, and CNC machining centers. With 10 flutes and a 3-1/2 inch flute length, the tool provides a smooth cutting action and an excellent surface finish in the reamed bore. Overall length is 12-1/2 inches, giving adequate reach for deep-hole applications while maintaining rigidity. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional spindle rotation.

This reamer is suited for machine shop, tool room, and production floor environments where hole finishing to tight tolerances is required. It handles through-holes and blind holes in a range of workpiece materials including carbon steel, alloy steel, cast iron, and aluminum. Typical install scenarios include fixture plate preparation, bearing housing sizing, and precision-fit pin bores. Machinists, toolmakers, and CNC operators working in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair operations will find this tool appropriate for standard finish-reaming cycles where a 1-1/2 inch final diameter is the target.

Key Features

• 1.5000 inch reamer diameter for precise hole finishing to nominal 1-1/2 inch size
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides toughness and wear resistance across common workpiece materials
• 10 straight flutes promote smooth cutting action and improved surface finish quality
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids and lubricants
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional clockwise spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style chucking reamer for use in drill presses, engine lathes, turret lathes, and CNC machining centers equipped with a chuck or collet capable of holding a straight-cylindrical shank at the 1-1/2 inch diameter class.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by a machinist or toolmaker into a compatible chuck or collet holder on a powered machine tool. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the reamer. Apply appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Do not use hand pressure or attempt to rotate the reamer manually in the workpiece, as this can dull the cutting edges and compromise dimensional accuracy.
