Hertel 45677093 Chucking Reamer 0.5050 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 45677093 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in machine tool applications. Ground to a 0.5050-inch diameter with a straight-cylindrical shank, this reamer delivers consistent, accurate bores in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright, uncoated carbide construction provides rigidity and dimensional stability across a range of workpiece materials. With a 4-inch overall length and a 1-1/2-inch flute length, it fits standard machine chucks and collets used in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and lathes. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this style of reamer.

This chucking reamer is suited for production and toolroom environments where finish-bore tolerances are critical. The 6-flute, right-hand cutting configuration promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces chatter during the reaming pass. The straight flute geometry makes it appropriate for through-holes and short blind holes where chip buildup is manageable. It is sold individually and is a direct drop-in for standard machine setups requiring a 0.5050-inch finished bore diameter.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and long tool life in demanding materials
• 0.5050-inch reamed diameter for precision bore finishing
• 6-flute, straight-flute geometry promotes smooth cutting action and chip clearance
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine spindle rotation
• Straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in drill chucks, collet holders, and machine arbors
• Bright, uncoated finish allows visual inspection of tool condition between uses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in CNC machining centers, manual lathes, and drill presses equipped with collet chucks or drill chucks sized to accept a straight-cylindrical shank at the 0.5050-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and operated by machinists and toolroom technicians. Before mounting, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the chuck or collet is clean and free of chips. Secure the shank fully in the holder to the recommended grip depth to prevent runout. Always follow the machine manufacturer and applicable shop safety guidelines when setting feeds, speeds, and cutting fluid application for carbide tooling.
