Value Collection 144429600017000 Chucking Reamer Size 17 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429600017000 is a wire gauge size 17 chucking reamer designed to finish-ream holes to a precise diameter of 0.1730 inches. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool delivers consistent sizing and smooth surface finishes in a wide range of workpiece materials. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in drill chucks and machine spindles. With a 4.5-inch overall length and a 1.125-inch straight flute, it is suited for bench drill press, turret lathe, or CNC drilling center use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

This reamer is intended for through-hole and blind-hole finishing operations where hole diameter must fall within the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch decimal inch range. Wire size 17 reamers are commonly used in precision machining, toolroom work, and maintenance-repair-operations (MRO) environments. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional machine spindle rotation. This is a single-piece, standard-size reamer and is not an over or under size variant, and it is not configured as a dowel pin reamer.

Key Features

• Reamer diameter of 0.1730 inches corresponds to wire gauge size 17
• HSS construction provides hardness and wear resistance for steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous materials
• Bright uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of cutting edges
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Right-hand cut, straight flute geometry for controlled chip evacuation in through-hole applications
• 4.5-inch overall length offers adequate reach for typical machine table setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, and machining centers equipped with drill chucks or collet systems that accept a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and operated by machinists following standard machine shop practices. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the reamer. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet and verify runout before cutting. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material and operate at recommended reaming speeds, which are typically lower than drilling speeds, to protect cutting edge life and maintain hole tolerance.
