Hertel 6013296 Chucking Reamer 1.003 in Hss 8 Flute

Product Description

The HERTEL 6013296 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking applications. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers accurate sizing in a 1.0030-inch diameter. The tool features 8 flutes with a right-hand cutting direction and mounts via a straight-cylindrical shank for secure chuck retention. At 10-1/2 inches overall length with a 2-3/4 inch flute length, it is suited for applications requiring controlled material removal to achieve tight bore tolerances. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this reamer as a finishing step after drilling or boring.

This chucking reamer is appropriate for use in vertical mills, lathes, and drill presses where precise final bore sizing is required. The straight flute geometry is well suited for through-hole reaming in ferrous and non-ferrous metals where chip evacuation is straightforward. The 1.0030-inch diameter makes it a go-to choice for producing holes with a specific oversize condition, common in press-fit and slip-fit applications in production and maintenance machining environments.

Key Features

• 1.0030-inch diameter for controlled oversize bore finishing
• 8-flute straight configuration for consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy
• Right-hand cutting direction, compatible with standard machine spindle rotation
• HSS construction provides good toughness and wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish — suitable for use with cutting fluids in general-purpose machining
• Straight-cylindrical shank for direct chuck mounting without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style machine reamer for use in standard drill press, lathe, or milling machine chuck setups that accept a straight-cylindrical shank. No specific model compatibility data was provided by the manufacturer for this SKU.

Installation Notes

This reamer should be installed by a qualified machinist. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the chuck is clean and free of debris before mounting the tool. Apply a suitable cutting fluid during reaming to extend tool life and improve bore finish. Always verify workpiece fixturing is rigid before taking a reaming pass, as movement during the cut will compromise bore accuracy.
