Value Collection 144429601720000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429601720000 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking applications. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it produces accurate, smooth bores to a diameter of 0.1720 inches. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill press chucks, CNC machining centers, and lathe tailstocks. Six flutes distribute cutting load evenly and clear chips efficiently during right-hand cutting passes. This reamer is a standard-size tool — not an over/under size or dowel pin variant — making it a direct fit for general-purpose precision reaming work.

This reamer is suited for machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and production environments where consistent bore sizing in the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch diameter range is required. It is appropriate for use in drill presses, milling machines, lathes, and CNC equipment. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians typically select this tool when a drilled hole requires finishing to a tight dimensional tolerance. The right-hand cutting direction is compatible with standard spindle rotation on conventional machine tools.

Key Features

• 0.1720 inch finished bore diameter for precision hole sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides good wear resistance across a wide range of work materials
• Six straight flutes for efficient chip evacuation and even cutting load distribution
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collets
• Bright, uncoated finish — ready for use as delivered
• Right-hand cutting direction matches standard machine spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard straight-shank chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, milling machines, and CNC machining centers equipped with a compatible chuck or collet capable of accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Machinist installation is required. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the reamer from the chuck or collet. Apply a suitable cutting fluid or lubricant for the work material to extend tool life and improve bore finish. Do not use this reamer as a drill — always pre-drill or bore the hole to within a few thousandths of the finish diameter before reaming.
