Scientific Cutting Tools SAEJ1926-06R-X3 Porting Tool Reamer

Product Description

The SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS SAEJ1926-06R-X3 is a carbide-tipped porting tool and reamer designed for preparing SAE J1926 and MS16142 straight-thread O-ring port faces on tube and hydraulic fittings. It produces a 0.9900-inch spotface diameter with a 9/16-18 UNF port thread size, making it a precise, single-pass solution for machinists and field technicians working with high-pressure fluid and pneumatic systems. The 3-flute straight-flute geometry and bright uncoated carbide-tipped construction deliver clean, repeatable cuts on metal tube workpieces without the need for additional finishing steps.

This tool is suited for applications requiring accurate O-ring port face preparation on tubes with a 3/8-inch outside diameter, classified as Tube Dash 6. It is commonly used in hydraulic system fabrication and repair, pneumatic plumbing, and industrial tube fitting installations where SAE J1926 and MS16142 port standards must be met. The straight shank allows direct chucking in standard drill presses, CNC machining centers, or hand-held power tools where repeatable spotface geometry is critical to a leak-free O-ring seal.

Key Features

• Carbide-tipped cutting edges for extended tool life on metal tube workpieces
• 0.9900-inch spotface diameter precisely sized for 9/16-18 UNF SAE J1926 and MS16142 port faces
• 3-flute straight-flute design promotes chip clearance and surface finish quality
• Reamer pilot type with 0.5070-inch minimum and 0.6185-inch maximum pilot diameter for self-centering alignment
• 12-degree seal angle machined to standard for reliable O-ring seating
• 1/2-inch straight shank compatible with standard collets and drill chucks
• Bright uncoated finish; no coating buildup to affect dimensional accuracy

Compatibility

Designed for use on tube workpieces with a 3/8-inch outside diameter (Tube Dash 6). Conforms to SAE J1926 and MS16142 straight-thread O-ring port standards.

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for use by machinists, hydraulic technicians, and trained mechanical tradespeople. Secure the workpiece fully before operation and ensure the pilot is properly seated in the existing port bore before engaging the cutter. Always follow shop safety protocols, including eye protection and appropriate spindle speed for the workpiece material. Power down and de-energize or depressurize any system before performing port preparation work on installed components.
