Value Collection 144429601685000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429601685000 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to bring bored or drilled holes to a precise finished diameter of 0.1685 inches. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers reliable cutting performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose reaming applications where a specialty coating is not required. The straight-cylindrical shank mounts directly in a drill chuck, collet, or machine spindle for secure, concentric holding. Six flutes provide smooth chip evacuation and a consistent surface finish. This reamer is well-suited for machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians working with precision hole tolerances.

This chucking reamer is appropriate for use in drill presses, lathes, milling machines, and CNC machining centers where through-hole or blind-hole finishing is required. It is sized within the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch decimal-inch reamer diameter range, making it a practical selection for light to medium production work and maintenance repair operations. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional machine reaming. It is sold individually and is not configured as an over-size or under-size reamer, nor as a dowel pin reamer.

Key Features

• Reamer diameter of 0.1685 inches for precise finished-hole sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across common workpiece materials
• Straight-cylindrical shank for direct mounting in drill chucks or collets
• Six straight flutes for smooth chip flow and consistent surface finish
• Right-hand cutting direction, standard for machine reaming operations
• Bright, uncoated finish suited to general-purpose reaming without specialized coating requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer for use in standard machine tool spindles accepting straight-cylindrical shank tooling within the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers of this type are installed and operated by machinists or toolroom technicians. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the machine chuck or collet before operation and verify runout before cutting. Always reduce spindle speed relative to drilling and apply appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Power down and lock out the machine before changing or inspecting the tool.
