Hertel 2292217 Chucking Reamer Letter U Hss 6 Flute

Product Description

The HERTEL 2292217 is a letter U chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metal machining operations. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer produces accurate, smooth bores at a nominal diameter of 0.3680 inches. The straight, 6-flute geometry provides stable cutting action and consistent chip evacuation. At 7 inches overall length with a 1-3/4 inch flute length, it fits standard drill press and lathe chucks via its straight-cylindrical shank. Right-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with conventional machine spindle rotation. This tool is suited for machinists and tool-and-die technicians working to close-tolerance finish specifications.

The HERTEL 2292217 is used in production and job-shop environments where hole diameter control is critical. Typical applications include finishing drilled or bored holes in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar machinable materials. The straight flute design is well suited to through-hole and short blind-hole finishing where chip control is manageable. It is commonly deployed in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a suitable chuck or collet holder. Package quantity is 1 piece.

Key Features

• 6-flute straight geometry for smooth, stable cutting action
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard machine spindle operation
• HSS construction with bright, uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of machinable metals
• Straight-cylindrical shank for secure seating in standard chucks and collets
• 7 inches overall length with 1-3/4 inch flute length for reach in typical machining setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill presses, engine lathes, and milling machines equipped with a chuck or collet capable of accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at letter U diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation of chucking reamers should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with rotary cutting tools. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before securing or removing the reamer from the chuck or collet. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the chuck is properly tightened before beginning a cut. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain bore finish quality.
