Value Collection 144429601635000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429601635000 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to finish-ream drilled or bored holes to a precise 0.1635 inch diameter. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers consistent sizing and smooth surface finish in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks or collet holders. Six flutes distribute cutting load evenly, reducing chatter and improving hole roundness. This tool weighs 0.32 pounds and is sold as a single unit. It is the correct choice when a hole must be held to a tight tolerance after drilling.

This reamer is suited for machine shop, toolroom, and production environments where finish reaming of small-diameter holes is required. Typical applications include sizing pin holes, bearing bores, and dowel holes in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and brass. The 0.1635 inch diameter falls within the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch decimal inch range, making it a standard selection for light-material removal after a pilot drill pass. It is used in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and drill presses by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

Key Features

• 0.1635 inch finished diameter for precise hole sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction resists heat and wear during cutting
• Six straight flutes provide even load distribution and smooth finish
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine spindle rotation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders without adapters
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in any machine tool equipped with a drill chuck or collet holder capable of accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.1635 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed by machinists in CNC or manual machine tools. Power down and lock out the spindle before securing or removing the tool from the chuck or collet. Always pre-drill the hole undersize, leaving only a small amount of stock for the reamer to remove, to achieve proper tolerance and finish. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface quality.
