Hertel 45676582 Chucking Reamer 0.383 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 45676582 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed to bring bored or drilled holes to precise final diameter with a smooth, accurate finish. Measuring 0.383 inches in diameter with an overall length of 3.5 inches and a flute length of 1.25 inches, this tool is built for tight-tolerance applications where dimensional accuracy is non-negotiable. The straight shank seats securely in standard chucks, collets, or floating reamer holders. Six right-hand flutes in a straight configuration provide clean, consistent cutting action. The bright polished finish reduces friction and helps with chip evacuation. Machinists and tool-and-die shops rely on this style of reamer for finishing operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This chucking reamer is suited for machine-shop environments running CNC machining centers, knee mills, drill presses, and engine lathes where a floating or rigid chuck setup is used. It performs in finishing passes on through-holes and blind holes where a precise, repeatable bore diameter is required. Typical applications include fixture work, bushing fits, and close-tolerance production runs. The 0.383-inch diameter falls within the 0.3500 to 0.3999 decimal inch reamer range, making it a standard selection for that size class.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in production environments
• 0.383-inch (0.3830 decimal inch) finished diameter for tight-tolerance hole sizing
• Six right-hand straight flutes for smooth, consistent cutting action
• Straight shank compatible with standard chucks, collets, and floating holders
• Bright polished finish reduces friction and aids chip evacuation
• 3.5-inch OAL with 1.25-inch flute length suits common through-hole and shallow blind-hole depths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style chucking reamer for use in standard machine-shop setups accepting straight-shank tooling in the 0.3500 to 0.3999 decimal inch reamer diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this reamer should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with cutting tool setup and speeds and feeds for carbide tooling. Secure the straight shank firmly in a chuck, collet, or floating reamer holder appropriate for the machine spindle. Ensure the workpiece is properly fixtured and the hole has been pre-drilled or bored to the correct pre-ream diameter before use. Carbide tooling is brittle and should never be used to remove excessive stock; always follow recommended stock allowances for reaming operations.
