Value Collection 144429601560000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429601560000 is a chucking reamer designed to finish-ream drilled or bored holes to a precise 0.1560-inch diameter. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers consistent cutting performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in standard drill chucks, collet chucks, or machine spindles. With 6 straight flutes ground to a bright, uncoated finish, the tool provides clean chip evacuation and accurate hole sizing. Right-hand cutting direction suits conventional spindle rotation on drill presses, lathes, and CNC machining centers. This reamer is the correct choice when a tight-tolerance final diameter is required after rough drilling.

Chucking reamers in the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch diameter range are routinely used in light machining, tool-and-die, maintenance, and production environments. The 0.1560-inch finished bore diameter falls in a size range common for dowel pin clearance holes, precision shaft fits, and hydraulic passage finishing. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians working on metalworking or general fabrication equipment are the primary users. The straight-cylindrical shank makes it compatible with standard machine toolholding setups without the need for specialized adapters.

Key Features

• 0.1560-inch finished bore diameter for accurate hole sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across common work materials
• 6 straight flutes for clean chip evacuation and consistent surface finish
• Straight-cylindrical shank for direct chuck or collet mounting
• Right-hand cutting direction for use with standard spindle rotation
• Bright, uncoated finish — no additional coating to affect dimensional tolerance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, milling machines, and CNC machining centers equipped with a drill chuck or collet system capable of accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed by a machinist or tooling technician and should be mounted securely in a properly sized chuck or collet to minimize runout before use. The workpiece and machine spindle must be fully stopped and the machine powered down before changing or inspecting tooling. Reamers should be run at reduced speeds and with appropriate cutting fluid compared to the drilling operation to achieve optimal bore finish and tool life. Never use a reamer to remove excessive stock — pre-drill or bore the hole to within the recommended allowance before reaming.
