Value Collection 144429601710000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429601710000 is a high-speed steel (HSS) chucking reamer designed to finish-ream drilled or bored holes to a precise 0.1710-inch diameter. Built with a straight-cylindrical shank for secure chuck retention, this reamer features six straight flutes ground to a right-hand cutting direction. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for HSS tooling and suitable for a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use chucking reamers like this one in drill presses, lathes, and CNC machining centers when hole tolerances demand accuracy beyond what drilling alone can achieve. The 0.5-pound tool weight reflects a compact, balanced body appropriate for the 0.1710-inch diameter class.

This reamer is suited for light production and maintenance machining operations where a precise, smooth bore finish is required in metal workpieces. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders commonly found in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments. Applications include reaming clearance holes for dowel pins, precision fastener bores, and bearing fits across general metalworking and mechanical assembly tasks. The 0.1710-inch diameter falls within the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch reamer diameter range.

Key Features

• 0.1710-inch diameter for accurate hole finishing in the 0.15 to 0.1999 inch range
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Six straight flutes for consistent chip evacuation and finish quality
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine spindle rotation
• Straight-cylindrical shank for use in standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Bright, uncoated finish — no additional coating to affect dimensional accuracy

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, and machining centers equipped with a drill chuck or collet system that accepts a straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and operated by machinists in machine shop or maintenance environments. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a properly sized chuck or collet before operation and verify runout is within acceptable limits before cutting. 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 force a reamer through an undersized hole — the pilot bore should be sized correctly before reaming to avoid tool deflection or breakage.
