Value Collection 144429600532000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429600532000 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to finish-ream holes to a precise 5/32-inch (0.1562 inch decimal) diameter. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers accurate sizing in a wide range of metals and softer materials. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill press chucks, CNC lathes, or mill collets. With a 4-inch overall length and a 1-inch flute length, this reamer is suited for through-holes and shallow blind holes in production and maintenance environments. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional feed applications.

This reamer is used in machine shops, tool rooms, and maintenance facilities where a finished, close-tolerance bore is required after drilling. It is appropriate for light to medium stock removal in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. Typical applications include fixture-pin holes, dowel-hole sizing, and general-purpose reaming operations on drill presses, lathes, or vertical mills. It is handled by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics.

Key Features

• HSS construction provides good wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose reaming without added coating cost
• Straight flute geometry simplifies regrinding and suits non-interrupted cuts
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders without adapters
• Right-hand cut compatible with conventional machine feed direction
• Compact 4-inch OAL keeps tool overhang minimal for improved rigidity

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer for use in any machine tool accepting a straight-cylindrical shank, including drill presses, lathes, and milling machines set up for reaming operations.

Installation Notes

Power down and lock out the machine before installing or removing the reamer from the chuck or collet. Secure the shank fully within the chuck jaws or collet bore to prevent slippage under cutting load. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Always pre-drill the hole to the correct sub-size before reaming — do not use a chucking reamer as a primary drilling tool.
