Hertel 45675436 Chucking Reamer 0.232 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 45675436 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.232-inch diameter, 3-inch overall length, and a 1-inch straight flute, this reamer delivers accurate sizing and smooth finishes in drilled or bored holes. The bright, uncoated solid carbide construction provides the rigidity and wear resistance needed for consistent results in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It features a 4-flute straight design with right-hand cut direction and a straight cylindrical shank for secure chuck holding in CNC machines, drill presses, and manual mills.

This chucking reamer is suited for production and job-shop machining environments where tight hole tolerances are required. It is commonly used in operations where holes are pre-drilled or bored close to final size and require a finish pass to achieve precise diameter control. The straight flute geometry makes it well-suited for through-hole reaming and soft to medium-hardness materials. It is installed and operated by machinists and tooling technicians working in general machining, tool-and-die, and precision manufacturing settings.

Key Features

• 0.232-inch reamer diameter within the 0.2000 to 0.2499 inch range
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and long tool life
• Straight flute, 4-flute design for smooth cutting action
• Right-hand cutting direction, standard for conventional reaming operations
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect dimensional accuracy
• Straight cylindrical shank for direct chuck mounting

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-style chucking reamer for use in CNC machining centers, knee mills, drill presses, and other machine tool setups that accept straight cylindrical shank tooling.

Installation Notes

This reamer is installed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Secure the straight shank firmly in a collet chuck or drill chuck before use, and verify runout with an indicator before cutting to protect dimensional accuracy. Pre-drill or bore the hole to within 0.003 to 0.005 inches of final size before reaming; do not attempt to remove excessive stock with a reamer. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish.
