Titan Usa TR97597 Construction Reamer 0.5 in 5 Flute Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA TR97597 is a construction reamer designed for enlarging and finishing holes in structural applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide and gold coating, it delivers durable cutting performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The reamer measures 0.5 inches in diameter with a matching 0.5-inch flatted shank, a flute length of 3.75 inches, and an overall length of 5.875 inches. It features a left-hand spiral with a right-hand cutting direction and five flutes for smooth material removal. Machinists, ironworkers, and construction tradespeople use this tool in drill press and hand-drill applications where precise hole sizing is required.

This construction reamer is suited for structural steel fabrication, ironwork, and general construction hole-finishing tasks. The flatted shank provides a secure grip in standard drill chucks, reducing slippage under load. The left-hand spiral geometry helps pull chips away from the cutting zone during right-hand rotation, keeping the bore clean and reducing heat buildup. It is appropriate for shop and field use where consistent hole tolerances are needed.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for wear resistance in demanding materials
• Oxide and gold coating for added surface protection and reduced friction
• Left-hand spiral with right-hand cut for effective chip evacuation
• Five flutes for smooth, consistent bore finishing
• Flatted shank for secure chuck engagement and reduced slippage
• 3.75-inch flute length accommodates standard structural material thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style construction reamer suitable for use in standard drill chucks accepting a 0.5-inch flatted shank in drill press or portable drill applications.

Installation Notes

This reamer is installed and operated by machinists, ironworkers, or skilled tradespeople using a drill press or heavy-duty hand drill. Always secure the workpiece before reaming and ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened on the flatted shank. Use appropriate cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend tool life. Follow applicable shop safety practices and wear appropriate eye and hand protection during operation.
