Value Collection 144429601845000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429601845000 is a high-speed steel (HSS) chucking reamer designed to finish-ream drilled or bored holes to a precise 0.1845-inch diameter. With 6 straight flutes and a straight-cylindrical shank, it is intended for use in drill chucks, collet chucks, and machine spindles on lathes, drill presses, and milling machines. HSS construction provides sufficient hardness and wear resistance for reaming mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar workpiece materials in production and job-shop environments. This reamer falls within the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch decimal-inch diameter range and is sold as a single unit.

This chucking reamer is suited for machine-tool applications where a close-tolerance finished bore is required. It is commonly used in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair settings by machinists and toolmakers. The straight-cylindrical shank provides positive gripping in standard drill chucks and collet holders without the need for specialty toolholding. It is appropriate for through-holes and blind holes where straight-flute chip evacuation is acceptable.

Key Features

• 0.1845-inch finished bore diameter for close-tolerance hole sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across common workpiece materials
• 6 straight flutes for smooth cutting action and consistent surface finish
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Standard OEM-style design — not an over-size or under-size reamer

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard machine-tool setups including drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with drill chucks or collet systems that accept a straight-cylindrical shank reamer in the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and operated by machinists following standard machine-tool safety procedures. Secure the shank firmly in the chuck or collet and verify runout before cutting. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve bore finish.
