Value Collection 144429601620000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429601620000 is a high-speed steel (HSS) chucking reamer designed to finish-size drilled or bored holes to a precise 0.1620-inch diameter. The straight flute geometry and bright uncoated surface are well suited for finishing operations in softer ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a straight-cylindrical shank, the tool seats securely in a standard drill chuck or collet holder. Six flutes distribute cutting load evenly, promoting a smooth bore finish and accurate hole sizing. This reamer weighs 0.5 pounds and ships as a single unit. Machinists and tool-and-die workers rely on chucking reamers like this one for consistent, repeatable results in production and repair environments.

This reamer fits applications where a final hole diameter of 0.1620 inches is required, placing it in the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch decimal-inch range. It is suited for use on manual lathes, drill presses, and CNC machining centers with appropriate toolholding. The right-hand cutting direction is the standard configuration for the majority of rotating-spindle setups encountered in general machining, job-shop work, and maintenance repair operations.

Key Features

• 0.1620-inch finished hole diameter with right-hand cutting direction
• HSS construction provides toughness and resistance to edge chipping
• 6 straight flutes for balanced cutting load and smooth bore finish
• Bright uncoated finish — ready to use without additional prep
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Not configured as a dowel-pin or over/under-size reamer — standard tolerance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in any rotating-spindle machine tool equipped to accept a straight-cylindrical shank in the applicable diameter range.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed by machinists or tooling technicians; always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a drill chuck or precision collet to minimize runout, which directly affects finished hole accuracy. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Do not use a chucking reamer to remove more stock than the tool is rated for — pre-drill or bore the hole to within a few thousandths of final size before reaming.
