Value Collection 144429600015000 Chucking Reamer Size 15 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429600015000 is a high-speed steel (HSS) chucking reamer designed to finish-ream drilled holes to a precise diameter of 0.1800 inches, corresponding to wire gauge size 15. The tool features a straight flute geometry and a straight-cylindrical shank, making it compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders. With an overall length of 4.5 inches and a flute length of 1.125 inches, this reamer is suited for finishing shallow-to-medium depth bores where tight dimensional tolerances are required. The bright, uncoated HSS construction provides sufficient hardness for reaming ferrous and non-ferrous materials in general machining environments. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians are the typical users of this tool.

This chucking reamer is intended for use in manual drill presses, CNC machining centers, lathes, and hand-operated fixtures where a straight-cylindrical shank is acceptable. It is commonly used in production and job-shop environments for sizing holes in mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar workpiece materials. Wire size 15 corresponds to a decimal diameter of 0.1800 inches, placing it in the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch diameter range. It is sold individually and is appropriate for low-volume and high-volume applications alike.

Key Features

• Wire size 15 diameter, 0.1800 inches decimal equivalent for precise hole finishing
• HSS tool material provides durability across a range of common workpiece materials
• Straight flute design suits most general-purpose reaming applications
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet systems
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect dimensional accuracy
• Right-hand cutting direction, standard for conventional machine setups

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer for use in standard drill chucks and collet holders that accept a straight-cylindrical shank; compatible with drill presses, lathes, and machining centers set up for right-hand cutting tools.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers should be installed by a qualified machinist following standard shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is de-energized or in a safe state before inserting or removing the tool from the chuck or collet. Use the appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain bore finish quality. Do not use a chucking reamer to remove excessive stock — pre-drill the hole to within standard reaming allowance before finishing with this tool.
