It features a straight flute geometry with a right-hand cut and three flutes, producing a clean, accurate taper for leak-free pipe thread seats. The large end diameter measures 0.725 inches and the small end diameter measures 0.670 inches. Overall length is 3.88 inches with a flute length of 1.875 inches and a 1\/2-inch straight shank with a 2-inch shank length. The bright finish carbide tip provides extended tool life in production and job-site applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reamer is used by machinists, pipefitters, and plumbers to finish tapered pipe thread ports in manifolds, valve bodies, fittings, and hydraulic or pneumatic blocks. It is suited for both shop and field use where a precise 1\/2-14 NPT port must be reamed to proper taper before threading. The straight flute design works well in through-holes and short blind bores. Applications span residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant piping, and industrial fluid-power assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbide-tipped cutting edges for extended tool life in steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-14 NPT taper pipe port specification for accurate thread seat preparation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree straight flutes with right-hand cut for consistent chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge end diameter 0.725 inches, small end diameter 0.670 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright finish reduces friction and aids chip flow during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch straight shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard drill presses, lathes, or hand-held drilling equipment accepting a 1\/2-inch straight shank.

Secure the workpiece firmly before reaming and apply cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Always ream at reduced RPM compared to standard drilling to avoid overheating the carbide tip. Verify the finished port taper with a calibrated NPT plug gauge before assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReamer Diameter (Large End)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.725 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall End Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.670 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-14 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.88 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbide Tipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.35 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: PRSS-04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52053746090290,"sku":"PRSS-04","price":235.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3d424e8f2c63eda838767b095a1fd933.jpg?v=1790036366","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/scientific-cutting-tools-prss-04-taper-pipe-reamer","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
