Hertel 45676764 Chucking Reamer 0.433 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 45676764 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking applications. With a diameter of 0.433 inches and a 4-inch overall length, this reamer delivers tight tolerances and consistent bore sizing on hardened and abrasive materials where high-speed steel tooling falls short. The 6-flute straight configuration promotes smooth cutting action and efficient chip evacuation. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for solid carbide reamers used across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this reamer in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual lathes equipped with a standard chuck.

This chucking reamer is suited for production and toolroom environments requiring precise final-pass sizing of drilled or bored holes. The straight shank allows direct chuck mounting without adapters, making it a practical choice for both horizontal and vertical spindle setups. The 1-3/8-inch flute length accommodates moderate hole depths in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials. Right-hand cutting direction is compatible with standard spindle rotation on the vast majority of machine tools in production shops.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 0.433-inch diameter with 6 straight flutes for consistent bore sizing and smooth finish
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of workpiece materials
• Straight shank for direct chuck mounting without adapters
• Right-hand cut matches standard spindle rotation on conventional machine tools
• 1-3/8-inch flute length handles typical production hole depths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style chucking reamer for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and lathes equipped with a standard chuck that accepts a straight shank tool in the 0.433-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Secure the straight shank firmly in a precision chuck and verify runout before cutting to avoid oversized or out-of-round bores. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle completely before loading or removing the tool. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain surface finish quality.
