Hertel 2297604 Chucking Reamer 16mm Hss Straight Flute

Product Description

The HERTEL 2297604 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metal components. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers consistent bore sizing at 16.00 millimeters (0.6299 inches) diameter. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in a drill chuck or collet, making it compatible with standard machine setups. With a 9-inch overall length and a 2-1/4-inch flute length, it is suited for through-hole and blind-hole reaming operations where tight tolerances are required. Right-hand cutting direction is standard. Licensed machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC operators are the primary installers and users of this tool.

This chucking reamer is used in general machining, toolroom, and production environments where accurate hole sizing to 16.00mm is needed. It is appropriate for use in drill presses, lathes, CNC machining centers, and manual milling machines. The bright HSS construction performs well in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials at moderate cutting speeds. It is a single-piece, standard-production reamer with no over or under size offset and no dowel pin configuration, making it a straightforward fit for general-purpose reaming applications.

• Right-hand cutting direction, standard configuration

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, and machining centers accepting a straight-cylindrical shank tool with a 16.00mm cutting diameter.

Installation Notes

This reamer is installed and operated by machinists and toolroom professionals. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a drill chuck or collet before use, and ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped before changing or adjusting the tool. Pre-drill or bore the hole to the appropriate pilot diameter before reaming to avoid tool deflection and premature wear. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for cutting speeds and feeds when reaming HSS tooling.
