Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, it delivers controlled material removal through a 5-flute, left-hand spiral configuration that provides a right-hand cutting action. The 11\/16-inch cutting diameter and 4-1\/2-inch flute length make it well-suited for through-hole finishing operations where alignment between structural members is critical. Machinists, ironworkers, and fabrication shops rely on this type of reamer when bolt holes need to be brought to final size and concentricity before assembly. The straight shank seats securely in standard drill chucks and pneumatic reamers used in field and shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bridge reamer is used in structural steel fabrication, bridge construction, heavy equipment assembly, and ironwork where misaligned or undersized holes must be brought to final tolerance. The 1-1\/16-inch straight shank diameter accommodates heavy-duty drill motors and reamers common on job sites and in fabrication shops. The left-hand spiral flute geometry helps push chips forward and reduces chatter during aggressive material removal in mild and structural steel. It is appropriate for both shop and field use where a consistent, clean final hole diameter is required prior to fastener installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e11\/16-inch cutting diameter with 0.6875-inch decimal equivalent for precise hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides durability in structural steel and fabrication applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-flute left-hand spiral, right-hand cut geometry reduces chatter and improves finish quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide coating provides corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-1\/2-inch flute length suits deep through-hole reaming in structural members\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight shank with 1-1\/16-inch diameter fits standard heavy-duty drill chucks and reamers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard bridge reamer for use in structural steel fabrication and ironwork applications requiring a 11\/16-inch finished hole diameter with a straight 1-1\/16-inch shank drive interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reamer is installed and operated by machinists, ironworkers, or fabricators using a drill motor, pneumatic reamer, or drill press capable of accepting the 1-1\/16-inch straight shank. Ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped or secured before reaming to prevent movement and maintain hole alignment. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for steel to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Always wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when operating rotary cutting tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReamer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/16 inches (0.6875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall End Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.15 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241611\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HERTEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2341816\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51734645637426,"sku":"2341816","price":188.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a928699a6a73697d5c41c28a1ea4913a_30db5d11-9d66-4c45-8430-dddf3b204634.jpg?v=1788764341","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-2341816-bridge-reamer-11-16-in-hss-5-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
