Hertel 45675600 Chucking Reamer 0.253 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 45675600 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in machine shop and production environments. With a reamer diameter of 0.253 inches, a 3-inch overall length, and a 1-inch straight flute length, this tool delivers accurate, repeatable bore sizing in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance well beyond that of high-speed steel alternatives. A bright polished finish reduces friction and aids chip evacuation. Four right-hand cutting flutes with a straight geometry make this reamer well suited for through-holes and shallow blind bores where consistent finish quality is required.

This chucking reamer is intended for use in CNC machining centers, knee mills, drill presses, and manual lathes with a compatible straight-shank chuck. It is appropriate for precision reaming operations in general metalworking, toolroom work, and production machining where tight diameter tolerances and smooth bore finishes are the primary goals. The straight shank allows direct mounting in a drill chuck or collet without the need for a Morse taper adapter.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high rigidity and extended tool life
• 0.253 inches reamer diameter for precise bore sizing
• 4 straight right-hand cutting flutes for consistent finish
• Bright polished coating reduces friction and aids chip flow
• Straight shank for direct chuck or collet mounting
• 3-inch overall length with 1-inch flute length for compact reach

Compatibility

Designed for use in any machine tool equipped with a straight-shank chuck or collet capable of accepting a 0.253-inch diameter straight-shank chucking reamer.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation of this reamer should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the straight shank firmly in a properly sized collet or drill chuck before operation, and verify runout with a dial indicator to protect bore accuracy. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before installing or removing the reamer. Avoid hand-turning a carbide reamer in a stationary workpiece, as carbide is brittle and susceptible to chipping under side-load conditions.
