Value Collection 144429604980000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429604980000 is a high-speed steel (HSS) chucking reamer designed to size and finish bored or drilled holes to precise tolerances. With a 0.4980-inch cutting diameter and an 8-inch overall length (OAL), this reamer is built for use in machine tool spindles, CNC machining centers, drill presses, and lathes. The straight flute geometry and bright uncoated finish make it well suited for reaming softer ferrous and non-ferrous materials where chip evacuation is straightforward. The straight-cylindrical shank seats cleanly in standard chucks or collets. This part is also designated as a dowel pin reamer at the 0.4980 D/P size, making it appropriate for precision hole fitting work where dowel pin seating tolerance is critical.

This chucking reamer is used in general machining, tool and die, fixture building, and maintenance-repair-overhaul (MRO) environments. It is a practical choice wherever a finished hole diameter of 0.4980 inches is required to accept a close-tolerance dowel pin or cylindrical component. The 2-inch flute length accommodates typical hole depths encountered in production and jobshop applications. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional clockwise spindle rotation.

Key Features

• 0.4980-inch diameter — sized as a dowel pin reamer for precision D/P fitment
• HSS construction provides durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Straight flute design promotes clean chip flow in through-hole and shallow blind-hole reaming
• Bright uncoated finish — ready to use as supplied, no coating removal needed
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Right-hand cutting direction matches conventional CW spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a straight-shank chucking reamer compatible with any machine tool spindle, drill press, or lathe chuck that accepts a straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for use wherever a 0.4980-inch finished hole diameter is required.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed by a machinist or tool-and-die professional into a machine spindle chuck or collet — never used by hand. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and the machine spindle is properly aligned before beginning the reaming operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Do not attempt to remove excessive stock with a reamer; pre-drill or bore the hole to within a few thousandths of the finished diameter before reaming.
