Value Collection 144429605450000 Chucking Reamer 0.545 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429605450000 is a chucking reamer designed to bring bored or drilled holes to precise final diameter with a clean, accurate finish. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated surface, this reamer features 8 straight flutes and a right-hand cutting direction. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in a drill chuck or collet holder. At 0.5450 inches in diameter, it is suited for finish-reaming operations where dimensional accuracy and hole surface quality are the primary requirements. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians use this style of reamer as a standard step in precision hole preparation.

This chucking reamer is used in manual drill presses, lathes, and CNC machining centers wherever a 0.5450-inch finished bore is required. Typical applications include fitting locating pins, bushings, bearings, and close-tolerance shaft bores in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The straight-flute geometry makes it appropriate for through-holes and blind holes with adequate chip clearance. It falls within the 0.5000 to 0.6999 inch decimal-inch reamer diameter range and is sold individually.

Key Features

• 0.5450-inch reamer diameter for precise final bore sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a broad range of workpiece materials
• 8 straight flutes for consistent chip evacuation and smooth bore finish
• Right-hand cutting direction, compatible with standard machine rotation
• Straight-cylindrical shank for secure seating in chucks and collet holders
• Bright/uncoated finish; no special tooling required for resharpening

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style chucking reamer for use in standard drill chucks, collet holders, and floating reamer holders on drill presses, lathes, and machining centers requiring a 0.5450-inch finished bore diameter.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed by licensed machinists or qualified maintenance personnel. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a chuck or collet before operation and confirm runout is within acceptable tolerance before cutting. Always apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Remove only the recommended stock allowance per pass; reaming is a finishing operation, not a material-removal operation.
