Hertel 45676897 Solid Carbide Chucking Reamer 0.46 in

Product Description

The HERTEL 45676897 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking applications. Built with a straight shank and six straight flutes, it produces accurate, smooth bores with consistent dimensional control. The reamer measures 0.46 inches in diameter with a 4-inch overall length and a 1.375-inch flute length. A bright finish and right-hand cut configuration are standard. Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance well-suited to high-tolerance finishing work in production and job-shop environments.

This reamer is used for finishing pre-drilled or bored holes to close tolerances in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Its straight-flute geometry makes it effective in through-hole applications where chip evacuation is straightforward. The straight shank is compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders, making it easy to deploy on vertical mills, drill presses, and CNC machining centers. Machinists and tool-room technicians are the primary users.

Key Features

• 0.46-inch diameter for precision hole finishing in the 0.4000 to 0.4999-inch range
• Six straight flutes for consistent cutting action and surface finish
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• Straight shank compatible with standard chucks and collet systems
• Right-hand cut with bright finish
• 4-inch overall length with 1.375-inch flute length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style chucking reamer suitable for use in standard drill chucks, ER collet holders, and similar toolholding systems on manual and CNC machine tools requiring a straight-shank reamer in the 0.4000 to 0.4999-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with reaming speeds, feeds, and cutting fluids appropriate to the workpiece material. Ensure the machine spindle and toolholder are clean and free of runout before mounting. Use cutting fluid or coolant suited to the material being reamed to maximize finish quality and tool life. Do not use this reamer to remove excessive stock — pre-drill or bore the hole to within the recommended reaming allowance before finishing.
