Hertel 72016157 Chucking Reamer 0.1615 in Hss 6 Flute

Product Description

The HERTEL 72016157 is a high-speed steel (HSS) chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metal and other machinable materials. With a reaming diameter of 0.1615 inches, a 4.5-inch overall length, and 6 straight flutes ground to a right-hand cutting direction, this tool delivers accurate, consistent bore sizing in production and repair environments. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for HSS reamers used across a wide range of general-purpose applications. It installs in any compatible drill chuck or collet holder and is operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on manual or CNC equipment.

This chucking reamer is suited for light finishing passes on drilled or bored holes where close dimensional tolerances are required. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in drill chucks, collets, or floating reamer holders. The 1.125-inch flute length accommodates typical shallow-to-moderate depth finishing operations. It is commonly used in job shops, maintenance environments, and production lines where holes in the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch diameter range must meet tight finish and size tolerances.

Key Features

• 0.1615 inch reaming diameter for precision bore finishing
• 6 straight flutes with right-hand cutting direction for smooth, controlled material removal
• HSS construction provides adequate hardness and toughness for general-purpose metal reaming
• Bright, uncoated finish — suitable for use with cutting fluids across a variety of workpiece materials
• Straight-cylindrical shank for secure seating in standard drill chucks or collet holders
• Single-piece construction with no dowel pin or over/under size offset

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, CNC machining centers, or hand-held drill motors equipped with a compatible chuck or collet accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch diameter reamer class.

Installation Notes

This reamer is installed by machinists in a machine spindle using a drill chuck, collet, or floating holder — ensure the shank is fully seated and the holding device is properly tightened before operation. Always power down or lock out the machine before changing tooling. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. The reamer is intended for finishing passes only; pre-drill or bore the hole close to final diameter before reaming.
