Hertel 2297406 Chucking Reamer 14.00mm Hss Straight Shank

Product Description

The HERTEL 2297406 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers accurate sizing and smooth surface finishes in reamed bores. The reamer measures 14.00mm (0.5512 inches) in diameter with an 8-inch overall length and a 2-inch flute length. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks and collet holders. Right-hand cutting direction suits conventional lathe, drill press, and CNC machining center setups. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on this style of reamer to bring drilled or bored holes to final tolerance.

This chucking reamer is suited for general-purpose reaming of through-holes and blind holes in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials. It falls within the 0.5000 to 0.6999 decimal-inch reamer diameter range, making it a common selection for shaft-fit and bearing-fit bores in both production and maintenance machining environments. The bright HSS construction performs well at moderate cutting speeds without the added cost of coated tooling, making it a practical choice for job shops and maintenance facilities.

Key Features

• 14.00mm (0.5512 inch) reamer diameter for precise bore sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides toughness and re-sharpenability
• Straight flute geometry suits most ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect dimensional tolerance
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional machine setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, and CNC machining centers equipped with drill chucks or straight-bore collet holders accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at 0.5512 inches diameter.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and used by machinists and toolroom technicians. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck or collet before use and verify runout before cutting to protect bore finish and tool life. Always pre-drill or bore the hole close to final size before reaming — forcing a reamer to remove excessive stock shortens tool life and degrades hole geometry. Follow shop-standard cutting fluid practices for the workpiece material being machined.
