Value Collection 144429601680000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429601680000 is a chucking reamer designed to finish-ream drilled or bored holes to a precise 0.1680 inch diameter. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool delivers consistent material removal on a wide range of metals and plastics. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks and collets. With 6 straight flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, it produces a clean, true bore suitable for close-tolerance assembly work. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians rely on this type of reamer for final hole sizing on lathes, drill presses, and milling machines.

This chucking reamer is suited for production and maintenance machining environments where holes must meet tight dimensional tolerances before press-fitting pins, bushings, or fasteners. The 0.1680 inch diameter places it in the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch decimal inch range, a common size for small mechanical assemblies. It is appropriate for use in job shops, maintenance repair operations, and manufacturing facilities requiring repeatable hole finishing in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• 0.1680 inch finished hole diameter for close-tolerance reaming
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a broad range of materials
• 6 straight flutes provide smooth cutting action and efficient chip clearance
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine rotation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and ER collets
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose machining applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer compatible with standard drill chucks, collets, and machine spindles that accept a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and operated by machinists on lathes, drill presses, or milling machines. Always secure the workpiece firmly and ensure the spindle is stopped and locked before mounting or removing the reamer from the chuck or collet. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Never run a reamer in reverse, as this will dull the cutting edges.
