Hertel 45677002 Chucking Reamer 0.49 in Solid Carbide 6 Flute

Product Description

The HERTEL 45677002 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in machining applications. With a 0.49 inch diameter and a 4 inch overall length, this reamer delivers accurate, repeatable bore sizing in production and toolroom environments. The straight flute geometry and bright polished finish support clean cutting action in a range of materials. Weighing 0.13 pounds, it is a compact, rigid tool suited for use in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and drill presses. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this reamer.

This chucking reamer is intended for finish reaming of drilled or bored holes where close-tolerance diameter control is required. The 1.5 inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance for through-hole and shallow blind-hole applications. The straight shank mounts directly into standard drill chucks, collet chucks, and reamer holders, making it compatible with common machine tool setups in job shops, production facilities, and maintenance departments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding materials
• 0.49 inch reamer diameter for precise hole finishing in the 0.4000 to 0.4999 inch range
• 6 straight flutes with bright polished finish for smooth cutting action
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard machine tool spindle rotation
• Straight shank for direct mounting in drill chucks and collet holders
• 4 inch overall length with 1.5 inch flute length for through-hole and shallow blind-hole use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in CNC and manual machine tools equipped with straight-shank toolholders, drill chucks, or collet chucks accepting a 0.49 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this reamer should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with proper speeds, feeds, and cutting fluid selection for carbide tooling. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is securely clamped in the holder before beginning work. Solid carbide tooling is brittle and should not be subjected to side loads or interrupted cuts beyond its rated application. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards when setting up and operating reaming operations.
