Value Collection 144429601132000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429601132000 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to finish-ream drilled or bored holes to a precise diameter of 0.3438 inches (11/32 inch). Made from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool delivers accurate, smooth bores in a wide range of workpiece materials. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in a drill press, lathe tailstock, or chucking device. With an overall length of 6 inches and a 1.5-inch flute length, this reamer is suited for general-purpose machine shop and toolroom work where consistent hole tolerance is required.

This reamer is intended for use in machine tool setups where a drilled hole needs to be brought to a finished diameter with tight dimensional control. It is commonly used in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments for reaming holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional machine-fed reaming operations. A machinist or toolroom technician typically selects this reamer when hole size, roundness, and surface finish are critical to assembly fit.

Key Features

• Reamer diameter: 0.3438 inches (11/32 inch) for precise finished-hole sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a range of materials
• Straight flute geometry for smooth cutting action and easy chip clearance
• Bright, uncoated finish — no additional coating to affect dimensional tolerance
• Straight-cylindrical shank for secure seating in standard drill chucks and collets
• Right-hand cutting direction, compatible with standard machine rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, and machining centers equipped with a standard chuck or collet capable of accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 11/32-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

A machinist should ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the reamer is centered on the existing pilot hole before engaging the cut. Power down the machine and lock out energy sources before mounting or removing the tool from the chuck. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Do not use this reamer as a drill to initiate a hole — always ream a pre-drilled or bored hole that is slightly undersized.
