Hertel 45674983 Chucking Reamer 0.176 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 45674983 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.176-inch diameter and four straight flutes, it delivers consistent, accurate sizing in through-holes and blind holes alike. The bright polished finish reduces friction and aids chip evacuation during the cut. At 2.75 inches overall length with a 0.875-inch flute length, this compact reamer fits standard drill press and CNC machining center setups. Machinists and toolroom technicians use this tool where tight dimensional tolerances and smooth bore finishes are required.

This chucking reamer is suited for production and toolroom environments working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals where hole sizing accuracy is critical. The straight shank allows direct mounting in standard drill chucks, collets, and floating reamer holders. It is appropriate for use on drill presses, milling machines, and CNC machining centers performing finish-reaming operations. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional machine feeds.

Key Features

• 0.176-inch diameter falls within the 0.1500 to 0.1999 decimal inch reamer range
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance compared to HSS alternatives
• Four straight flutes for smooth cutting action and consistent chip flow
• Bright polished finish reduces built-up edge and friction at the cutting edge
• Straight shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard machine operation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard straight-shank chucking reamer for use in drill chucks, ER collet systems, and floating reamer holders on drill presses, milling machines, and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed by qualified machinists following standard toolroom practices. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the chuck or collet is de-energized before mounting or removing the tool. Use a floating reamer holder where possible to compensate for minor spindle misalignment and prevent oversize or bell-mouthed holes. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain bore finish quality.
