Hertel 72017106 Chucking Reamer 0.1710 in Hss 6 Flute

Product Description

The HERTEL 72017106 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metal and similar materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers consistent dimensional accuracy when enlarging or finishing drilled holes to tight tolerances. The reamer measures 0.1710 inches in diameter with a 4.5-inch overall length and a 1.125-inch flute length. Its straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks or collets. With six flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, it produces smooth, accurate bores suitable for close-tolerance machining work. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users.

This chucking reamer is suited for use on drill presses, lathes, and milling machines in job shop, production, and maintenance environments. The 0.1710-inch diameter falls within the 0.1500 to 0.1999-inch decimal inch range, making it appropriate for finishing holes in that size class. It is sold individually and packaged as a single unit, making it practical for low-volume toolroom restocking or single-job procurement.

Key Features

• 0.1710-inch cutting diameter for precise hole finishing to close tolerances
• HSS construction provides good wear resistance and toughness across common workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to alter final diameter
• Six straight flutes with right-hand cutting direction for smooth bore finish
• Straight-cylindrical shank for straightforward chuck or collet mounting
• Not an over/under size reamer — standard nominal diameter

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in any machine tool accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the appropriate diameter range, including drill presses, engine lathes, and knee mills.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers should be installed by a qualified machinist and secured firmly in a drill chuck or collet before use. Always bring the spindle to a complete stop before changing tooling. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Avoid hand-reaming applications with this style of reamer — it is designed for machine use only.
