Value Collection 14442960153200S Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 14442960153200S is a high-speed steel (HSS) chucking reamer designed to finish-ream drilled holes to a precise 15/32-inch (0.4688 inch decimal) diameter. With a 7-inch overall length and a 1-3/4-inch spiral flute, this reamer delivers consistent bore accuracy in metal fabrication, maintenance, and general machining applications. The right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces chatter during the cutting pass. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks and collet holders, making it a practical choice for machine shop and field-repair work.

This chucking reamer is suited for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, lathes, and hand-held drilling equipment where a straight-cylindrical shank is appropriate. It is intended for finishing operations on pre-drilled holes in the 0.4000 to 0.4999 inch diameter range, targeting the 0.4688 inch nominal size. Typical users include machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials that require a tight-tolerance finished bore.

Key Features

• HSS construction provides good hardness and wear resistance for general-purpose reaming
• Right-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet systems without adaptation
• 0.4688 inch nominal diameter targets the 15/32-inch finished bore size
• 7-inch overall length provides adequate reach for most standard workpiece depths

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, and machining centers accepting a straight-cylindrical shank, sized for finishing holes in the 0.4000 to 0.4999 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers should be installed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the workpiece securely fixtured and the machine powered down before tool changes. Always verify shank seating and chuck tightness before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Never use a reamer to remove excessive stock — pre-drill or bore the hole to within a few thousandths of the finished diameter before reaming.
