Hertel 2296804 Chucking Reamer 8.00mm Hss 6 Flute

Product Description

The HERTEL 2296804 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to finish-size drilled or bored holes to a precise 8.00mm (0.3150 inch) diameter. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers clean, accurate bores in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in a drill chuck or collet, and the 6-flute geometry distributes cutting load evenly for a smooth, true finish. With a 6-inch overall length and a 1.5-inch flute length, it is proportioned for standard machine-shop and field reaming operations performed by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians.

This reamer is suited for through-hole and blind-hole finishing in production machining, MRO maintenance, and precision fabrication environments. It handles typical reaming allowances left after drilling in materials such as mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machineable alloys. The right-hand cutting direction pairs with standard CNC, manual lathe, drill press, and portable power-tool setups. Coolant or cutting oil is recommended to extend tool life and maintain surface finish quality.

Key Features

• 8.00mm (0.3150 inch) finished bore diameter for precise hole sizing
• 6-flute straight configuration for even load distribution and smooth surface finish
• HSS construction provides good toughness across a broad range of machineable materials
• Bright, uncoated finish — suitable for use with cutting fluids and standard machining lubricants
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with drill chucks and collet holders
• Right-hand cutting direction for use with standard clockwise-rotating spindles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, CNC machining centers, and portable drilling equipment accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the corresponding collet or chuck size.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and removed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians following standard lockout/tagout procedures before tool changes. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck or collet to prevent runout. Always apply an appropriate cutting fluid or oil during reaming to reduce heat and extend tool life. Do not use a reamer to remove excessive stock — pre-drill or bore the hole to within standard reaming allowance before use.
