Value Collection 14442960156400S Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 14442960156400S is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers accurate sizing at 0.2344 inches (15/64 inches) diameter. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill press chucks, lathes, and CNC collet holders. With a 6-inch overall length and a 1-1/2-inch flute length, it is suited for through-hole and blind-hole reaming operations where tight tolerances are required. Right-hand spiral flutes and right-hand cutting direction help clear chips efficiently during the cut. Machinists, tool and die workers, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This chucking reamer is intended for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in machine shop, production, and maintenance-repair-operations (MRO) environments. The HSS construction handles a broad range of workpiece materials including mild steel, aluminum, brass, and cast iron at moderate cutting speeds. The 15/64-inch diameter makes it a practical choice when finishing drilled holes to a precise fractional or close-decimal size before pinning, bushing, or bearing installation.

Key Features

• 15/64 inch (0.2344 inch) reamer diameter for precise hole finishing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Right-hand spiral flutes with right-hand cutting direction for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• 6-inch overall length with 1-1/2-inch flute length for controlled depth reaming
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill presses, engine lathes, and CNC machining centers equipped with straight-shank collets or drill chucks accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at the 15/64-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers should be installed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians familiar with machine setup and cutting-tool best practices. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck or collet before operation, and verify runout with a dial indicator when tight tolerances are required. Always apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Never use a reamer to remove excessive stock — pre-drill or bore the hole to within a few thousandths of final size before reaming.
