Hertel 72036262 Chucking Reamer 0.6260 in Hss 8 Flute

Product Description

The HERTEL 72036262 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metal machining applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers accurate sizing on through-holes and blind holes in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The tool features an 8-flute configuration that promotes smooth cutting action and a quality surface finish. With an overall length of 9 inches and a flute length of 2.25 inches, it fits standard drill press chucks, CNC machining centers, and manual lathe tailstocks that accept a straight-cylindrical shank. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional spindle rotation.

This chucking reamer is suited for general-purpose reaming operations in job shop, production, and maintenance environments. The 0.6260-inch diameter targets finish sizing of holes that have been pre-drilled or bored close to final dimension. Machinists and toolroom technicians use this style of reamer to achieve tight tolerances and improved hole geometry after drilling. The straight shank allows direct chuck mounting without the need for a taper adapter, making it a practical choice for both manual and CNC setups.

Key Features

• 0.6260-inch reamer diameter for precise hole finishing within the 0.5000 to 0.6999-inch range
• 8 straight flutes promote even cutting load distribution and smooth bore finish
• HSS construction provides good toughness and wear resistance across common workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish — suitable for use with cutting fluids for extended tool life
• Straight-cylindrical shank mounts directly in standard drill chucks or collets
• Right-hand cutting direction matches conventional machine spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, manual mills, and lathes equipped with a straight-shank compatible chuck or collet holder accepting the straight-cylindrical shank profile.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with reaming procedures. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the reamer from the chuck. Ensure the pre-drilled hole is sized to the appropriate stock allowance for reaming before beginning the finishing pass. Use a compatible cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish quality.
