Value Collection 144429605010000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429605010000 is a straight-flute chucking reamer machined from high-speed steel (HSS) and supplied with a bright, uncoated finish. Designed to finish-ream holes to a precise 0.5010-inch diameter, it is classified as an over-size reamer (0.5010 O/S) for applications requiring a controlled interference or slip fit beyond the nominal 0.500-inch baseline. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in a drill press chuck, lathe tailstock, or CNC turret. Overall length is 8 inches with a 2-inch flute length. Right-hand cutting direction. Machinists and tool-room technicians are the primary users of this type of reamer.

This reamer is suited for machine-shop and production environments where a bored or drilled hole must be brought to a tight dimensional tolerance. The 0.5010-inch designation makes it appropriate when a standard half-inch reamer would leave insufficient material removal, or when an assembly specification calls for a slightly oversized bore. Typical installations include fixture plates, jig plates, bearing bores, and dowel-pin seat finishing in metalworking operations. The HSS construction handles a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials at conventional cutting speeds.

Key Features

• 0.5010-inch diameter — over-size designation for controlled bore finishing beyond nominal 0.500 inch
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Straight flute geometry suitable for through-holes and general-purpose reaming operations
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect finished hole diameter
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Right-hand cutting direction with 8-inch overall length for reach in deeper setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use chucking reamer for drill presses, engine lathes, turret lathes, and CNC turning or machining centers equipped with a standard straight-bore chuck or collet capable of holding a cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This reamer is installed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Before mounting, ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the chuck or collet is clean and free of chips. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank with sufficient clamping force to prevent slippage under cutting load. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material, and feed at a controlled, consistent rate — forcing the reamer or running it dry can cause bell-mouthing or premature edge wear.
