Hertel 45674678 Chucking Reamer 0.117 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 45674678 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking and machining applications. With a reamer diameter of 0.117 inches and a 4-flute straight flute geometry, it produces tight-tolerance bores with consistent surface finish. The bright polished coating reduces friction and aids chip evacuation. At 2.25 inches overall length with a 0.625-inch flute length, this compact tool suits short-reach reaming operations in drill press, lathe, and machining center setups. It is installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working to close diameter tolerances in production or repair environments.

This chucking reamer is suited for reaming operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals where hole diameter accuracy and surface finish are critical. The straight shank mounts directly in drill chucks or collet holders without an adapter. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional CNC and manual machine spindle rotation. It is appropriate for through-hole and blind-hole finishing in production machining, job shop, and maintenance-repair environments where pre-drilled holes must be brought to final size.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides hardness and wear resistance for extended tool life in abrasive materials
• 0.117-inch reamer diameter falls within the 0.1000 to 0.1499 inch decimal inch range for small-bore finishing
• 4-flute straight flute design delivers balanced cutting action and consistent chip load per tooth
• Bright polished finish reduces built-up edge and improves bore surface finish
• Straight shank accepts standard drill chucks and collet holders without special tooling
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation on most machines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct tooling selection for machines equipped with standard straight-shank drill chucks or collet holders capable of accepting a 0.117-inch diameter solid carbide chucking reamer.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists in drill presses, lathes, or CNC machining centers. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing the reamer from the chuck or collet. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the chuck is tightened to the manufacturer specification for the holding device in use. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to promote tool life and bore finish quality.
