Hertel 2350320 Chucking Reamer 1/2 in Hss 6 Flute

Product Description

The HERTEL 2350320 is a high-speed steel (HSS) chucking reamer designed to bring drilled or bored holes to a precise final diameter. With a 0.5000 inch cutting diameter, 8 inch overall length, and 2 inch flute length, this reamer delivers accurate, smooth finishes in metal workpieces. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in standard drill chucks or collet holders. Six right-hand spiral flutes shear material cleanly and evacuate chips efficiently, reducing chatter and improving hole surface quality. Machinists and toolroom technicians use this tool in lathes, drill presses, and machining centers where tight diameter tolerances are required.

This chucking reamer is suited for general machining and toolroom applications in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The bright, uncoated HSS construction is appropriate for lower-speed finishing operations where coolant is applied. It is a practical choice for production shops and maintenance environments that require consistent hole sizing. The right-hand cutting direction pairs with standard spindle rotation found on the vast majority of machine tools in use today.

Key Features

• 0.5000 inch cutting diameter for precise final hole sizing
• 6 right-hand spiral flutes for smooth chip evacuation and reduced chatter
• HSS construction provides toughness and resharpening capability
• Bright, uncoated finish — compatible with most cutting fluids
• Straight-cylindrical shank for direct mounting in drill chucks or collet holders
• 8 inch overall length with 2 inch flute length for reach in standard setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in lathes, drill presses, and machining centers equipped with drill chucks or collet holders that accept a straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Install and remove reamers only with the machine fully powered down and the spindle at a complete stop. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a properly sized chuck or collet to prevent runout that would degrade hole tolerance. Always apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material during reaming to extend tool life and improve finish. Reaming is a finishing operation — pre-drill or bore the hole to within a few thousandths of final diameter before using this tool.
