Hertel 72034846 Chucking Reamer 0.484in Hss 6 Flute

Product Description

The HERTEL 72034846 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking and machining applications. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer holds a 0.4840-inch diameter and delivers a 2-inch flute length over an 8-inch overall length. The straight-cylindrical shank ensures secure, repeatable chuck seating in standard drill chucks and collet systems. With 6 flutes cutting in a right-hand direction, it removes material evenly to produce accurate, smooth bores in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. It weighs 0.19 pounds and is sold individually.

This chucking reamer is suited for machine shop, toolroom, and production floor use where tight bore tolerances are required. It is intended for use in drill presses, lathes, milling machines, and CNC machining centers with appropriate low-speed, high-feed reaming parameters. Typical applications include finishing through-holes and blind bores in steel, cast iron, and aluminum components. The straight flute geometry is well matched to stable, non-interrupted cuts in these materials.

Key Features

• 0.4840-inch reamer diameter for precision hole finishing within the 0.4000 to 0.4999-inch range
• HSS construction provides toughness and wear resistance for general-purpose machining
• 6 straight flutes with right-hand cutting direction for smooth, even material removal
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• 8-inch overall length with a 2-inch flute length for reach into moderate-depth bores

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, and machining centers that accept a straight-cylindrical shank tooling in the 0.4840-inch diameter class.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed by licensed machinists and toolroom technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling. Ensure the shank is fully seated and securely clamped in the chuck or collet before operating. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material, and operate at recommended reaming speeds and feeds to avoid bell-mouthing or chatter.
