Value Collection 144429604600000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429604600000 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to finish-size drilled or bored holes to a precise 0.4600-inch diameter. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers consistent cutting performance across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 8-flute geometry provides a smooth finish and even chip load distribution, reducing chatter and improving hole-wall quality. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill press or lathe chucks as well as CNC tool holders, making it a reliable choice for machine shop and production reaming applications.

This chucking reamer is suited for machine reaming operations in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments. It is used wherever a finished hole in the 0.4000 to 0.4999-inch diameter range requires tight tolerances and a clean surface finish. Typical applications include reaming bearing bores, bushing seats, and precision dowel-pin holes in metal workpieces. The straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with a wide variety of standard machine chucks and collet holders used on drill presses, lathes, and machining centers.

Key Features

• 0.4600-inch finished-hole diameter for accurate, repeatable sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction resists heat and wear during machine reaming
• 8 straight flutes provide smooth cutting action and even chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard chucks and collet holders without adapters
• Not configured as a dowel-pin or over/under-size reamer — standard on-size tolerance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill presses, engine lathes, and machining centers equipped with a chuck or collet capable of accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.4600-inch diameter class.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers should be installed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the chuck is properly tightened before beginning the operation. Always apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Never run a reamer in reverse, as this dulls the cutting edges and damages the flute geometry.
