Value Collection 144429601665000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429601665000 is a chucking reamer designed to finish-ream drilled or bored holes to a precise 0.1665 inch diameter. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for accurate sizing in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight 6-flute configuration provides smooth cutting action and consistent chip evacuation, making it well suited for production and maintenance environments. The straight-cylindrical shank mounts directly into a drill press chuck, CNC machine, or lathe tailstock. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians rely on this style of reamer when hole tolerances demand more precision than a drill alone can achieve.

This chucking reamer is appropriate for light to medium material removal in finish-reaming operations on a drill press, milling machine, or lathe. It fits within the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch reamer diameter range and is a standard tool in general machining, fixture building, and precision maintenance work. The 6-flute straight-flute design is particularly effective in through-holes and shallow blind holes where chip clearance is manageable and a fine surface finish is required.

Key Features

• 0.1665 inch finished hole diameter for tight-tolerance reaming applications
• HSS construction provides hardness and heat resistance for extended tool life
• 6 straight flutes deliver smooth cutting action and consistent surface finish
• Straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Standard chucking reamer geometry — not a dowel pin or over/under size variant

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in any drill press, lathe, or milling machine equipped with a chuck or collet capable of accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.1665 inch diameter class.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians in machine tool spindles. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a drill chuck or collet before use, and ensure the workpiece is clamped to prevent movement during the reaming operation. Always reduce spindle speed relative to drilling and apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Never use a chucking reamer as a drill — it is a finishing tool only and is not designed to remove significant stock.
