Value Collection 144429601600000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429601600000 is a chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright polished finish, it delivers clean, accurate bores at a 0.16 inch diameter. The straight flute geometry and right-hand cutting direction make it well-suited for finishing drilled holes to tight tolerances in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Six flutes provide efficient chip evacuation and a smooth surface finish. The straight shank seats securely in standard drill chucks or collet holders, making it a reliable choice for machine shop and maintenance operations.

This chucking reamer is used in machine tool operations where a drilled hole must be brought to a precise finished diameter. Typical applications include production drilling on lathes, milling machines, and drill presses in light manufacturing, tool and die, and general machining environments. It falls within the 0.15 to 0.1999 inch diameter range, targeting small-bore finish reaming tasks that require consistent dimensional accuracy and surface quality.

Key Features

• 0.16 inch finished bore diameter for precise hole sizing
• High speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright polished finish reduces friction and aids chip flow
• 6 straight flutes for smooth cutting action and efficient chip removal
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine spindle rotation
• Straight shank fits drill chucks and collet holders without modification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill chucks and collet-style tool holders on lathes, drill presses, and milling machines requiring a 0.16 inch finished bore diameter.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and operated by machinists familiar with machine tool setup and cutting tool standards. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck or collet before operation and verify runout with an indicator when tight tolerances are required. Always apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Power down the machine and lock out energy sources before changing or inspecting tooling.
