Value Collection 144429603150000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429603150000 is a high-speed steel (HSS) chucking reamer designed to finish-size drilled or bored holes to a precise 0.3150-inch diameter. Straight flutes run the length of the cutting body, and a right-hand cutting direction keeps the tool tracking true in standard drill press, lathe, and machining-center spindles. The bright, uncoated finish is suitable for use with cutting fluid on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians reach for this reamer when bore tolerances require accuracy beyond what a drill alone can deliver.

This reamer is suited to general-purpose machine shop work, production reaming on manual lathes or knee mills, and maintenance repair operations where close-tolerance holes are needed in steel, aluminum, brass, or cast iron. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in standard drill chucks, collet chucks, or floating holders without an adapter. It is sold and packaged as a single unit.

Key Features

• 0.3150-inch finished-hole diameter for precise bore sizing
• HSS construction provides good wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials
• 6-flute geometry distributes cutting load evenly and improves surface finish
• Straight flutes simplify regrinding and work well with cutting fluids
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine spindle rotation
• Bright uncoated finish — ready to use as delivered or with shop-applied cutting lubricant

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer for use in standard drill chucks, collet chucks, and floating reamer holders that accept a straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and removed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians with the machine powered down and the spindle fully stopped. Secure the shank firmly in the chuck or collet before beginning the cut, and always use a recommended cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve bore finish. Feed rate and spindle speed should follow published HSS reamer guidelines for the specific material being machined — improper speed or a dry cut will accelerate edge wear. Never reverse spindle direction while the reamer is engaged in the bore.
