Value Collection 144429601650000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429601650000 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to bring bored or drilled holes to precise finished dimensions. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer measures 0.1650 inches in diameter and is suited for finishing holes in the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch diameter range. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks or collet holders on mills, lathes, and drill presses. With six flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, it delivers smooth, accurate finishes in a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and toolroom operators reach for this style of reamer when tight hole tolerances and surface finish quality are required.

This chucking reamer is appropriate for general machining applications in job shops, production environments, and maintenance toolrooms. It is used to finish-ream holes in steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, and similar materials where dimensional accuracy and hole roundness are critical. The 0.1650 inch diameter makes it well suited for pin-fit holes, dowel locations, and precision clearance bores in light mechanical assemblies. It is typically run on a lathe, drill press, milling machine, or CNC machining center at reduced spindle speeds with appropriate cutting fluid applied.

Key Features

• 0.1650 inch finished-hole diameter within the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch decimal range
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Six straight flutes for smooth cutting action and consistent surface finish
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard forward-feed operation
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with drill chucks and collet holders
• Bright, uncoated finish — ready to use out of the package with standard cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in any machine tool equipped with a drill chuck or collet capable of holding a straight-cylindrical shank at the appropriate diameter.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers should be installed by qualified machinists familiar with cutting tool setup and machine operation. Always power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the reamer from the chuck or collet. Run the reamer at significantly reduced spindle speeds compared to drilling, and apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Never attempt to increase hole size by more than a few thousandths of an inch in a single reaming pass.
