Value Collection 144429605005000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429605005000 is a chucking reamer designed to finish-ream bored or drilled holes to a precise 0.5005 inch diameter. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers consistent cutting performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in a drill chuck or collet holder, and the 8-flute configuration distributes cutting load evenly to produce smooth, accurate hole walls. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians use this reamer as a final-step precision tool where tight dimensional tolerances are required.

This reamer is suited for manual machine tools, drill presses, lathes, and milling machines in both job-shop and production environments. It is intended for through-hole and blind-hole finishing operations where hole size must be held close to 0.5005 inches. The right-hand cutting direction is compatible with standard right-hand spindle rotation. Typical applications include fixture and tooling work, bearing seat preparation, and dowel pin hole finishing where a reamed fit is specified.

Key Features

• 0.5005 inch finished hole diameter for tight-tolerance reaming work
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction handles a broad range of workpiece materials
• 8 straight flutes distribute cutting forces evenly for smooth hole finish
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids or dry cutting
• Right-hand cutting direction matches standard machine spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, milling machines, and similar machine tools equipped with a drill chuck or collet capable of holding a straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified shop technician should install and operate this reamer. Secure the shank firmly in the chuck or collet before starting the spindle, and verify that the machine is powered down and at a complete stop before changing tooling. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Always ream to final size after pre-drilling or boring to leave only a light finishing allowance — do not use a reamer to remove excess stock.
