Value Collection 144429602800000 Chucking Reamer 0.28 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429602800000 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to finish-ream drilled or bored holes to a precise 0.2800-inch diameter. Machined from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers accurate sizing in ferrous and non-ferrous materials across a wide range of machining environments. The straight-cylindrical shank mounts directly in standard drill chucks, collets, or machine spindles. Six straight flutes provide clean, consistent cutting action with right-hand rotation. It is intended for use by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance professionals performing precision hole finishing operations.

This chucking reamer is suited for bench drill press, mill, or lathe applications where a reamed hole tolerance is required. Typical use cases include finishing pilot holes in fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies. The 0.2800-inch diameter falls within the 0.2500 to 0.2999-inch range, making it a standard selection for close-tolerance hole work in job shops, production environments, and maintenance repair operations.

Key Features

• 0.2800-inch finished hole diameter for precise tolerance reaming
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and wear resistance
• 6 straight flutes for smooth, chatter-resistant cutting action
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose machining applications
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collets without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer for use in drill presses, milling machines, and lathes equipped with standard straight-shank toolholding systems.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank firmly in the chuck or collet before use and verify runout is within acceptable limits to maintain hole accuracy. Always ream at a lower spindle speed than drilling, with cutting fluid applied to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Inspect the reamer flutes and cutting edges before each use and remove any chips or debris that could affect dimensional accuracy. Handle HSS cutting tools carefully to avoid edge chipping from impact or improper storage.
