Hertel 45676426 Chucking Reamer 0.362 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 45676426 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed to finish-ream holes to a precise 0.362-inch diameter. Solid carbide construction provides superior rigidity and wear resistance compared to high-speed steel, making it well-suited for production environments where dimensional consistency is critical. The straight flute geometry and right-hand cut deliver clean, accurate bores with minimal chatter. Overall length is 3.5 inches with a 1.25-inch flute length. Six flutes distribute cutting load evenly, extending tool life and improving surface finish. The bright, uncoated finish is appropriate for a wide range of workpiece materials.

This reamer is used in machine shops, toolrooms, and production lines for final hole sizing after drilling or boring operations. The straight shank allows direct mounting in drill chucks, collet chucks, and floating reamer holders on CNC machining centers, drill presses, and lathes. It is suited for close-tolerance work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where hole quality and repeatability are required. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary installers.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended wear life
• 0.362-inch finished-hole diameter with six straight flutes
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard machine spindle rotation
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with a broad range of materials
• Straight shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders
• 3.5-inch overall length with 1.25-inch flute length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style chucking reamer for use in any machine tool accepting a straight-shank reamer of the corresponding diameter and shank size.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and operated by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the tool from the holder. Use adequate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to prevent heat buildup and tool wear. Do not attempt to remove excessive stock with a reamer; pre-drill or bore the hole to within established reaming allowance before use.
