Hertel 45675816 Chucking Reamer 0.286 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 45675816 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.286 inch cutting diameter and a right-hand cutting direction, this reamer produces accurate, smooth bores to tight tolerances. The six-flute straight flute geometry provides stable cutting action and efficient chip evacuation. A bright polished finish reduces friction and helps maintain bore surface quality. This tool is commonly installed in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual lathes by machinists and tool and die professionals who require consistent hole sizing after drilling.

This chucking reamer is suited for precision reaming operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where hole diameter control is critical. The straight shank allows direct clamping in standard drill chucks, collet chucks, or floating reamer holders. With a 1.125 inch flute length and a 3.25 inch overall length, it is sized for short to medium depth through-holes and blind holes in production and job-shop environments. The 0.286 inch diameter falls within the 0.250 to 0.299 inch decimal inch range, making it a practical choice for close-tolerance bore work in that size class.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for wear resistance and dimensional stability in demanding materials
• Six straight flutes for smooth cutting action and consistent surface finish
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine spindle rotation
• Bright polished finish reduces built-up edge and friction during cutting
• Straight shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders without adapters
• 0.286 inch diameter for precise hole sizing in the 0.250 to 0.299 inch range

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style chucking reamer for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and turret lathes equipped with standard straight-shank toolholding. No specific model compatibility data was provided by the manufacturer for this SKU.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and operated by qualified machinists. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before loading or removing the tool. Secure the straight shank firmly in a properly sized collet or drill chuck to prevent runout, which directly affects bore accuracy. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines for speeds and feeds when reaming solid carbide tooling.
