Value Collection 144429601460000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429601460000 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to bring holes to precise finished dimensions in metal and similar materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer measures 0.1460 inches in diameter and features a straight-cylindrical shank for secure seating in drill press or lathe chucks. With six flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, it delivers consistent material removal and a smooth bore finish. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians reach for chucking reamers when drilling alone cannot meet the tight tolerances required for pin fits, bushing bores, and precision assemblies.

This reamer is suited for use in machine shop environments on drill presses, lathes, and milling machines where controlled feed rates and rigid tool holding are available. It falls within the 0.1000 to 0.1499 inch reamer diameter range and is appropriate for finishing through-holes or blind holes in steel, aluminum, brass, and cast iron. The straight-cylindrical shank accommodates standard drill chucks and collet systems without adapters. It is sold individually and is a practical option for low-volume production runs, toolroom work, and maintenance machining.

Key Features

• 0.1460 inch finished bore diameter for precise hole sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across common engineering metals
• Six straight flutes for smooth, consistent cutting action
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collets without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style machine reamer for use in drill press, lathe, and milling machine setups that accept straight-cylindrical shank tooling in the corresponding diameter range.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers must be run at lower spindle speeds and higher feed rates than twist drills of comparable diameter to avoid chatter and premature wear. Always pre-drill the hole to within 0.005 to 0.015 inches of finished size before reaming. Power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling or adjusting chuck jaws. Apply a suitable cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve bore finish.
