Hertel 45676889 Chucking Reamer 0.452 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 45676889 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metal machining applications. Built with a straight shank and a straight flute geometry, it produces accurate, smooth bores with consistent dimensional control. The reamer measures 0.452 inches in diameter with an overall length of 4 inches and a 1-3/8 inch flute length. The bright polished finish reduces friction during the cut and helps maintain surface finish quality in the finished bore. With 6 flutes and right-hand cutting direction, this tool delivers stable, efficient material removal when mounted in a drill press, lathe, or CNC machining center.

This chucking reamer is suited for production and maintenance machining environments where hole tolerance and surface finish are critical. It handles through-hole and blind-hole reaming in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Typical users include machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance professionals working with precision assemblies, fixtures, and mechanical components. The straight shank accepts standard chucks and collet systems commonly found in machine shops and industrial maintenance settings.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for extended tool life and rigidity in demanding cuts
• 0.452 inch diameter with 6 straight flutes for precise bore sizing
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard machine setups
• Bright polished finish reduces cutting friction and promotes clean bore surfaces
• Straight shank is compatible with standard chucks and collet holders
• 4 inch overall length with 1-3/8 inch flute length suits common workpiece depths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit chucking reamer for machine tools accepting straight-shank tooling in the 0.452 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Install and service this reamer only with the machine powered down and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Seat the straight shank fully and securely in the chuck or collet before operation. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use, as carbide tooling is brittle and can fail if run in a damaged condition. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain bore finish.
