Value Collection 144429602100000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429602100000 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in machine shop and production environments. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright polished finish, it delivers clean, accurate bores with a right-hand cutting action. The reamer measures 0.368 inches in diameter with a 7-inch overall length and a 1-3/4-inch flute length, making it well suited for moderate-depth reaming operations on a drill press, lathe, or machining center. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and production operators are the typical end users for this class of tooling.

This chucking reamer is used wherever a drilled hole requires tight dimensional tolerance and improved surface finish. It is appropriate for general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous materials in both job shop and light production settings. The straight shank allows direct mounting in a drill chuck, collet, or floating reamer holder. The letter-size U diameter designation places it in the 0.3500 to 0.3999 inch diameter range, covering applications where a fractional or numbered drill leaves an undersized hole that needs to be brought to final dimension.

Key Features

• 0.368 inch diameter, letter size U, for precise hole finishing in that size range
• High speed steel construction provides durability across ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces
• Bright polished finish reduces friction and aids chip evacuation
• Straight flute geometry suits through-holes and shorter blind-hole applications
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard spindle rotation
• Straight shank fits drill chucks, collets, and floating holders without modification

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, and machining centers where a straight-shank, straight-flute HSS reamer in the 0.3500 to 0.3999 inch diameter range is required.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified shop operator should secure this reamer in a drill chuck or collet with adequate runout control before use. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before mounting or removing the tool. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Follow shop safety procedures and applicable OSHA machine guarding standards when operating rotary cutting equipment.
