Hertel MR46-0960.563 Chucking Reamer 0.0960 in Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL MR46-0960.563 is a solid carbide chucking reamer sized to wire gauge 41, with a decimal diameter of 0.0960 inches. It features a spiral flute geometry with a left-hand spiral direction and right-hand cutting action, producing a smooth bore finish in both through-holes and blind holes. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks or collet holders. With four flutes and a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer is suited for precision hole sizing in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians working to tight bore tolerances rely on solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in production environments.

This chucking reamer is designed for use in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and drill presses where precise final hole sizing is required. The 14 mm flute length handles typical material depths at wire size 41, while the 75 mm overall length provides adequate reach for standard fixturing setups. It is appropriate for automotive, aerospace, and general precision machining applications where repeatable hole diameter and finish are critical requirements. A licensed machinist or toolroom technician typically selects and installs this tool.

Key Features

• Wire size 41 diameter at 0.0960 inches for precise bore sizing
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and extended tool life
• Spiral flute geometry with left-hand spiral promotes smooth chip evacuation
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard spindle operation
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of workpiece materials
• Diameter tolerance held to 0.0000 to +0.0003 mm for tight-fit applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision chucking reamer for use in standard straight-shank collet chucks and drill chucks sized to accept a 0.0960-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this reamer should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with speeds, feeds, and cutting fluid requirements for solid carbide tooling. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the reamer from the holder. Seat the straight shank fully and evenly in the collet or chuck to prevent runout. Do not use this reamer to remove excessive stock; it is a finishing tool intended for light material removal to final bore size.
