Scientific Cutting Tools SAEJ1926-06R Porting Tool Reamer

Product Description

The SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS SAEJ1926-06R is a carbide-tipped porting tool designed for machining SAE J1926 and MS16142 straight-thread O-ring ports in tube and fitting applications. It combines a spotface operation with a reamer pilot in a single tool, producing a flat seating surface and accurately sized pilot bore in one pass. The spotface diameter measures 0.9900 inches, the tool accepts a 3/8-inch tube outside diameter (Tube Dash 6), and the port thread size is 9/16-18 UNF. Three straight flutes and a bright, uncoated carbide-tipped cutting head deliver consistent material removal on tubing workpieces without the need for separate tooling steps.

This porting tool is used in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-conveyance line fabrication where SAE J1926 or MS16142 straight-thread O-ring port geometry is required. It is suited for production and maintenance environments where technicians need to spot-face and ream a port face to specification in a single operation. The straight shank mounts in standard drill press chucks, CNC machining centers, or manual milling setups. Workpiece compatibility is listed as tubes, making it appropriate for tube-end port preparation on hydraulic manifolds, fittings, and related components.

Key Features

• Carbide-tipped cutting edges for extended tool life on metallic tube workpieces
• Combined spotface and reamer pilot operation machines the port face and pilot bore in one pass
• Spotface diameter of 0.9900 inches meets SAE J1926 and MS16142 port geometry requirements
• 3-flute straight-flute design for consistent chip evacuation and surface finish
• 12-degree seal angle machined to support O-ring face seal integrity
• 1/2-inch straight shank fits standard collets and drill press chucks without adapters
• Bright, uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of cutting edge condition

Compatibility

Designed for port preparation conforming to SAE J1926 and MS16142 standards, specifically for 3/8-inch tube outside diameter (Tube Dash 6) applications with a 9/16-18 UNF port thread size.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by machinists, hydraulic system fabricators, or maintenance technicians using a drill press, milling machine, or CNC machining center. Secure the workpiece firmly before operation and ensure the spindle is aligned perpendicular to the port face to maintain seal-angle accuracy. Power down the machine completely before changing or inspecting the tool. Do not exceed the tool's rated cutting parameters for the workpiece material, and use appropriate cutting fluid to preserve carbide edge life.
