Hertel 45675006 Chucking Reamer 0.179 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 45675006 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in machine tool applications. With a diameter of 0.179 inches and a 4-flute straight flute geometry, this reamer delivers accurate, smooth bores in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The bright polished finish reduces friction and aids chip evacuation during the cut. The straight shank mounts directly into standard drill chucks or collet holders, making setup straightforward on drill presses, lathes, and CNC machining centers. Machinists and toolroom operators use this reamer as the final step in hole sizing where close tolerances are required.

This reamer is suited for light-to-medium stock removal on holes in the 0.150 to 0.199 inch diameter range. Its 7/8 inch flute length accommodates shallow-to-moderate depth holes typical in precision fixture work, tooling components, and production machining. The right-hand cutting direction is compatible with standard spindle rotation. It is sold and packaged as a single unit, appropriate for both job shop and production environments where a reliable OEM-style solid carbide reamer is needed.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance compared to HSS reamers
• 0.179 inch nominal diameter for tight-tolerance hole finishing
• 4 straight flutes for controlled cutting action and consistent surface finish
• Bright polished coating reduces built-up edge and aids chip flow
• Straight shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Right-hand cutting direction matches standard machine spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, and CNC machining centers equipped with standard straight-shank toolholders or drill chucks accepting this shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before loading or removing the reamer from the chuck or collet holder. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the chuck or collet is torqued to the toolholder specification before starting the machine. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain bore finish quality.
