Value Collection 144429601575000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429601575000 is a high-speed steel (HSS) chucking reamer designed to finish-ream drilled or bored holes to a precise 0.1575-inch diameter. It features a straight-cylindrical shank for secure seating in standard drill chucks and collet holders. The bright, uncoated HSS construction provides good hardness and wear resistance for general-purpose reaming in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With 6 straight flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, this reamer delivers consistent, clean hole walls in production and maintenance machining operations. Machinists and toolroom technicians reach for this style of reamer when tight dimensional tolerances are required after drilling.

This chucking reamer is suited for use in manual drill presses, lathes, and CNC machining centers where a straight-shank tool is appropriate. Typical applications include finishing holes in mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials where a smooth bore finish and accurate diameter are critical. The 0.1575-inch diameter places it in the 0.1500 to 0.1999-inch decimal range, making it a practical choice for small-diameter precision hole finishing in light manufacturing, job shops, and maintenance repair operations.

Key Features

• 0.1575-inch finished hole diameter for precise small-bore reaming
• HSS tool material provides hardness and toughness for general-purpose use
• 6 straight flutes for clean chip evacuation and consistent hole finish
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine spindle rotation
• Straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in drill chucks and collet holders
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids on a wide range of materials

Compatibility

Designed as a straight-shank chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, and machining centers equipped with a chuck or collet capable of accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.1575-inch diameter class.

Installation Notes

A qualified machinist or toolroom technician should install and operate this reamer. Secure the shank fully in a drill chuck or collet before running the spindle, and confirm the chuck is properly tightened to prevent tool slip. Always apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Do not force the reamer through undersize holes — pre-drill or bore the hole to the recommended pilot diameter before reaming.
