Value Collection 144429604500000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429604500000 is a chucking reamer designed to finish-ream drilled or bored holes to a precise 0.4500-inch diameter. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers consistent cutting performance across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks and collet holders, making it a reliable choice for lathe, drill press, and machining center work. Eight straight flutes provide a smooth cutting action with efficient chip evacuation. The uncoated bright finish is standard for general-purpose HSS reamers used in job-shop and production environments.

This reamer is suited for machine-shop applications where hole finish and dimensional accuracy are required after drilling. It is appropriate for use on metals including mild steel, aluminum, brass, and cast iron in both light production and maintenance-repair-overhaul (MRO) settings. The right-hand cutting direction is compatible with standard spindle rotation on conventional lathes and machining centers. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians are the primary installers and users of this tool.

Key Features

• 0.4500-inch reamer diameter for precise hole finishing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across common workpiece materials
• 8 straight flutes for smooth cutting action and efficient chip clearance
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Right-hand cutting direction for use with standard spindle rotation
• Bright/uncoated finish — general-purpose HSS ready for use as-received

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use chucking reamer for standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.4000 to 0.4999 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and operated by machinists using lathes, drill presses, or CNC machining centers. Ensure the workpiece and spindle are fully stopped before mounting or removing the reamer from the chuck or collet. Use adequate cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Ream at a lower RPM than drilling and at a consistent feed rate to achieve the specified diameter and surface finish.
