Hertel 45674900 Chucking Reamer 0.1630 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 45674900 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.1630-inch diameter and a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers accurate, repeatable sizing in through-holes and blind holes. The straight-cylindrical shank mounts directly into standard drill chucks or collets, and the 4-flute straight configuration provides stable cutting action and good chip evacuation. Right-hand cutting direction suits conventional CNC and manual machine tool setups. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with tight-tolerance bores in the 0.1500 to 0.1999-inch range rely on solid carbide construction for extended tool life in harder workpiece materials.

This reamer is suited for precision reaming operations on machining centers, lathes, and drill presses where hole diameter accuracy and surface finish quality are critical. The 7/8-inch flute length accommodates shallow to moderate depth holes, and the 2-3/4-inch overall length provides adequate clearance in most standard toolholding setups. It is appropriate for production runs and toolroom work in industries including aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing where close-tolerance hole finishing is required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides superior wear resistance compared to high-speed steel in harder materials
• 0.1630-inch diameter falls within the 0.1500 to 0.1999-inch decimal inch range for tight-tolerance bore finishing
• 4-flute straight configuration supports stable cutting and consistent chip clearance
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with a wide range of cutting fluids and workpiece materials
• Straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems
• Right-hand cutting direction for use in standard CNC and manual machine tool configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision chucking reamer for use in standard drill chucks and collet-style toolholders on CNC machining centers, lathes, and drill presses requiring a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.1500 to 0.1999-inch diameter class.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before mounting or removing the reamer from the toolholder. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a properly sized collet or drill chuck to minimize runout and prevent tool pullout during cutting. Always use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material and follow shop safety protocols when handling carbide tooling, as carbide edges are brittle and can chip if dropped or mishandled.
