Hertel 45674850 Chucking Reamer 0.1565 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 45674850 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking applications. With a reamer diameter of 0.1565 inches and a 4-flute straight flute geometry, it delivers accurate, repeatable bore sizing in a single pass. The bright polished finish reduces friction and promotes smooth chip flow. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 0.75-inch flute length, this compact reamer is well suited to CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual lathes where tight tolerances are required. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on solid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance compared to high-speed steel alternatives.

This chucking reamer is intended for use in machine tool setups where consistent hole geometry and surface finish are critical. The straight shank allows direct chuck mounting in standard 3-jaw or collet-style chucks. It is appropriate for finishing pre-drilled or bored holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals where the 0.1565-inch nominal diameter is required. Right-hand cutting direction suits conventional clockwise spindle rotation found on most machine tools.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high wear resistance and dimensional stability
• 0.1565-inch reamer diameter for precision hole finishing
• 4-flute straight flute design promotes smooth cutting action
• Bright polished finish reduces friction and aids chip evacuation
• Straight shank for direct chuck or collet mounting
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and lathes equipped with 3-jaw chucks or collet holders accepting a straight shank. Suitable for applications requiring a finished bore in the 0.1500 to 0.1999-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the reamer. Secure the straight shank firmly in a properly sized collet or chuck to prevent runout, which can damage the cutting edges or produce an out-of-tolerance bore. Follow the tool manufacturer and machine manufacturer guidelines for appropriate cutting speeds and feeds for solid carbide reamers.
