Hertel 72023609 Chucking Reamer 0.2360 in Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL 72023609 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metal components. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers consistent sizing and smooth surface finishes in through-holes and blind holes. The reamer measures 0.2360 inches in diameter with a 6-inch overall length and a 1.5-inch flute length. The straight-cylindrical shank provides secure clamping in standard drill chucks and machine collets. With 6 flutes and right-hand cutting direction, it removes material efficiently while maintaining dimensional accuracy across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.

This chucking reamer is suited for machine shop and maintenance applications where finish reaming to a precise diameter is required. It is sized for use in drill presses, lathes, and CNC machining centers. Typical applications include bearing bores, pin holes, and dowel locations where a close-tolerance fit is necessary. It is installed and used by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics working in production and repair environments.

Key Features

• 0.2360-inch diameter falls within the 0.2000 to 0.2499 inch reamer diameter range
• 6-inch overall length with 1.5-inch flute length for controlled cutting engagement
• 6 straight flutes with right-hand cutting direction for smooth, consistent material removal
• HSS construction provides good toughness and wear resistance in general-purpose reaming
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids in a variety of materials
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer for use in standard machine tool spindles and drill chucks accepting a straight-cylindrical shank of the corresponding diameter.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and operated by machinists and maintenance technicians. Always secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and verify runout before cutting. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Reamers remove minimal stock and should only be used after the hole has been drilled or bored to the correct pre-reaming diameter.
