Hertel 45677028 Chucking Reamer 0.495 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 45677028 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in machine shop and production environments. With a reamer diameter of 0.495 inches and a 4-inch overall length, this tool delivers tight-tolerance sizing in through-holes and blind holes. The bright polished finish reduces built-up edge and aids chip evacuation during high-speed operation. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this reamer on CNC machining centers, lathes, and drill presses where repeatable bore accuracy is critical. The straight shank allows direct mounting in standard chucks and collets without adapter hardware.

This chucking reamer is suited for production reaming operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a 0.495-inch finished bore diameter is required. The straight flute geometry is well matched to short-chipping materials and provides a clean, consistent finish. The 1.5-inch flute length accommodates typical hole depths encountered in fixture plates, tooling components, and precision assemblies. It is used by machinists and manufacturing professionals in job shops, tool rooms, and production floors requiring tight bore tolerances.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for extended tool life and rigidity in abrasive materials
• 0.495-inch reamer diameter for precision bore sizing
• 6 straight flutes with right-hand cutting direction for clean hole finishes
• Bright polished finish to minimize friction and chip adhesion
• Straight shank for direct mounting in standard drill chucks and ER collets
• 1.5-inch flute length with 4-inch overall length for compact, rigid reach

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in CNC machining centers, manual lathes, and drill presses equipped with straight-shank toolholders or ER collet chucks accepting the appropriate shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with reaming operations. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before loading or removing the reamer from the chuck or collet. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain bore finish quality. Avoid using this reamer as a drill substitute, as side loading will damage the cutting edges.
