Hertel 72018252 Chucking Reamer 0.1825 in Hss 6 Flute

Product Description

The HERTEL 72018252 is a high-speed steel (HSS) chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metal and other machinable materials. With a 0.1825-inch diameter and a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers accurate, smooth bores in a single pass. It features six straight flutes with a right-hand cutting direction and a straight-cylindrical shank for secure, concentric chuck holding. At 4.5 inches overall length with a 1.125-inch flute length, it fits standard machine tool setups used by machinists and toolroom professionals in production and maintenance environments.

This chucking reamer is suited for through-hole and blind-hole finishing operations on drill presses, CNC machining centers, lathes, and manual milling machines. It is commonly used in precision machining, toolroom work, and light production environments where hole diameter tolerance and surface finish are critical. The 0.1825-inch diameter falls within the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch decimal inch reamer range, making it a fit for small-diameter bore finishing applications.

Key Features

• 0.1825-inch reamer diameter for precise small-bore finishing
• 6 straight flutes with right-hand cutting direction for smooth material removal
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids in standard machining operations
• Straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks and collets
• 4.5-inch overall length with 1.125-inch flute length for reach in typical machine setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in any machine tool equipped with a chuck or collet capable of accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the applicable diameter range.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed by machinists using a standard drill chuck or collet holder on a drill press, lathe, or machining center. Always secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify runout before cutting. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Inspect the reamer for edge chipping before each use and do not use a damaged tool.
