Hertel 2297851 Chucking Reamer 18.50mm Hss 9 Inch Oal

Product Description

The HERTEL 2297851 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 consistent sizing performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The reamer measures 18.50mm (0.7283 inches) in diameter and runs 9 inches overall, with a 2.25-inch flute length and 8 straight flutes for smooth, controlled material removal. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in a drill chuck or collet holder, making it straightforward to set up on a drill press, lathe, or machining center. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary installers.

This reamer is suited for finishing pre-drilled or bored holes to close tolerances in production and maintenance machining environments. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole reaming in machine components, jigs, fixtures, and structural assemblies where an 18.50mm finished bore is required. Right-hand cutting direction matches standard spindle rotation on most machine tools. The uncoated HSS construction makes it compatible with cutting fluids across a broad range of workpiece materials including mild steel, aluminum, and brass.

Key Features

• 18.50mm (0.7283 inch) reamer diameter for precise hole finishing
• HSS construction provides durability across common metalworking materials
• 8 straight flutes promote even chip evacuation and smooth bore finish
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with a wide range of cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, and machining centers equipped to accept a straight-cylindrical shank in the corresponding diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with reaming operations. Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the machine spindle is brought to a full stop before tool changes. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain bore finish quality. Do not exceed the recommended feed and speed parameters for HSS reamers in the applicable material.
