Hertel 2328839 Hand Reamer 19/32 in 8 Flutes Hss Bright

Product Description

The HERTEL 2328839 is a straight-flute hand reamer designed to finish and size drilled holes to precise tolerances. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, this reamer delivers consistent performance in metalworking, machining, and mechanical assembly applications. It measures 19/32 inches (0.5938 inches) in diameter with an 8-flute straight configuration that promotes smooth material removal and accurate hole sizing. The 6-3/4 inch overall length provides adequate reach for most bench and field reaming tasks. With a right-hand cutting direction and straight shank, it is compatible with standard tap wrench handles used by machinists and maintenance technicians.

This hand reamer is suited for finishing holes in metal components where close dimensional tolerances are required. It is commonly used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments. Typical applications include sizing holes in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials prior to bearing or bushing installation. The 19/32 inch diameter makes it a standard sizing tool for mechanical assemblies that require precise hole finishing rather than rough stock removal.

Key Features

• 19/32 inch (0.5938 inch) diameter for precise hole sizing
• 8 straight flutes for smooth, consistent cutting action
• High speed steel construction for durability across a range of metals
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating to affect dimensional accuracy
• Right-hand cut with straight shank for use in standard tap wrenches
• 6-3/4 inch overall length suitable for most bench and field applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard straight-shank hand reamer for use in tap wrenches and compatible holding tools rated for 19/32 inch diameter reamer shanks in metalworking and mechanical maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Hand reamers are installed and operated by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench or similar handle. Always secure the workpiece before reaming and apply cutting fluid appropriate for the base material to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Ream in the cutting direction only — do not reverse rotation, as reversing dulls cutting edges. Remove chips frequently during operation to prevent binding and maintain dimensional accuracy.
