Value Collection 144429600010000 Chucking Reamer No. 10 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429600010000 is a straight-flute chucking reamer sized to No. 10 wire gauge, with a decimal diameter of 0.1935 inches. Machined from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it is designed to finish-ream drilled holes to close dimensional tolerances. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in a drill chuck or collet, making it a practical choice for drill press, turret lathe, or CNC work. Right-hand cutting direction with straight flutes keeps the tool stable in through-hole applications. Overall length is 5 inches with a flute length of 1.25 inches, keeping the tool compact for short-reach operations.

This reamer suits job shops, maintenance departments, and production environments where consistent hole sizing in the No. 10 wire-gauge diameter range is required. Typical applications include reaming pilot holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites where a clean, accurately sized hole is needed before pinning, bolting, or press-fitting a component. The bright finish makes it well-suited for non-ferrous and general-purpose materials where a coating is not required.

Key Features

• No. 10 wire-gauge diameter — 0.1935 inches decimal equivalent for precise hole sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides good wear resistance across common workpiece materials
• Straight-flute geometry suited to through-hole reaming and general-purpose finishing
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect diameter accuracy
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collets without adapters
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer for use in drill presses, turret lathes, and CNC machining centers equipped with a standard drill chuck or collet capable of gripping a straight-cylindrical shank in the No. 10 wire-gauge diameter range.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck or collet before operation and verify runout before cutting. Always pre-drill the hole undersize — typically 0.003 to 0.010 inches under the reamer diameter — to leave sufficient stock for the reamer to remove; the specific allowance depends on workpiece material and surface finish requirements, and no value not confirmed by the operator's process should be assumed. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve finish quality.
