Value Collection 144429604480000 Chucking Reamer 0.4480 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429604480000 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to bring bored or drilled holes to a precise finished diameter of 0.4480 inches. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers the hardness and wear resistance required for production and maintenance reaming in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in a drill chuck or collet, and the 8-flute geometry provides smooth cutting action with a right-hand cut direction. The bright, uncoated finish keeps the tool ready to use out of the box without any additional preparation.

This chucking reamer is suited for machine shop, maintenance, and toolroom applications where hole tolerances demand a dedicated finishing pass after drilling or boring. It is commonly used in drill presses, lathes, milling machines, and CNC machining centers. The straight-cylindrical shank makes it compatible with standard drill chucks and ER-style collet systems. Typical applications include bearing bores, dowel pin holes, and hydraulic component bores where controlled diameter and surface finish are critical.

Key Features

• 0.4480 inch finished diameter falls within the 0.4000 to 0.4999 inch decimal inch reamer range
• HSS construction provides hardness and toughness for general-purpose reaming
• 8-flute straight configuration delivers smooth surface finish and even chip distribution
• Right-hand cut direction compatible with standard machine rotation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders without adapters
• Bright uncoated finish — no pre-treatment required before use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, milling machines, and machining centers equipped with drill chucks or straight-bore collet holders sized for a straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers should be installed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine is powered off and the spindle is fully stopped before inserting or removing the reamer from the chuck or collet. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Avoid running the reamer in reverse, as this will damage the cutting edges.
