Hertel 45674926 Chucking Reamer 0.167 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 45674926 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in machining operations. With a 0.167-inch cutting diameter and a straight shank configuration, this reamer mounts directly into standard chucks for accurate, repeatable sizing. The 4-flute straight flute geometry provides consistent chip evacuation and smooth bore finishes. A bright polished coating reduces friction during the cut and helps maintain dimensional accuracy at the cutting edge. The overall length of 2.75 inches and a flute length of 0.875 inches make this tool well-suited for shallow-to-medium depth reaming applications in a production or job-shop environment. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers of this tool.

This chucking reamer is intended for finishing pre-drilled or bored holes to tight tolerances in metalworking operations. It is appropriate for use on CNC machining centers, manual knee mills, and drill presses where a straight-shank tool is acceptable. The 0.167-inch diameter falls within the 0.150- to 0.199-inch decimal inch range, making it a common choice for small-diameter precision bore work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Right-hand cutting direction means standard spindle rotation applies with no special setup required. This is a single-piece, non-adjustable reamer intended for fixed-diameter finishing only.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for wear resistance and dimensional stability at cutting speed
• 0.167-inch cutting diameter for precise small-bore finishing
• 4-flute straight flute design promotes smooth surface finish and stable cutting action
• Bright polished coating reduces friction and built-up edge formation
• Straight shank for direct chuck mounting without adapters
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision reamer for use in standard drill chucks and collet systems that accept straight-shank tooling in the applicable diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tool-and-die technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the chuck. The reamer should be run at appropriate surface footage for solid carbide tooling in the workpiece material, with cutting fluid applied to extend tool life and improve bore finish. Do not use this reamer to remove excess stock; the hole should be pre-drilled or bored to within a few thousandths of final diameter before reaming.
