Value Collection 144429605500000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429605500000 is a chucking reamer designed to finish and size drilled or bored holes to tight tolerances. Built from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for general-purpose machine reaming across a wide range of workpiece materials. The reamer measures 0.5500 inches in diameter, uses a straight-cylindrical shank for direct chuck mounting, and features 8 straight flutes with a right-hand cutting direction. The bright, uncoated finish keeps the tool ready for use as delivered. Machinists and toolroom technicians reach for this style of reamer when a drilled hole needs to be brought to a precise finish diameter.

This chucking reamer is suited for use in drill presses, lathes, machining centers, and manual mills where a straight-shank tool can be held in a drill chuck or collet. It is appropriate for finishing holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials in production, job shop, and maintenance-repair environments. The 0.5500-inch diameter falls within the 0.5000 to 0.6999 inch reamer diameter range, making it a common size for mechanical assembly and precision fit applications.

Key Features

• 0.5500-inch diameter for precise hole sizing in the half-inch range
• HSS construction provides hardness and toughness for general-purpose reaming
• 8 straight flutes for smooth cutting action and consistent finish
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine spindle rotation
• Straight-cylindrical shank mounts directly in a drill chuck or collet without adapters
• Bright uncoated finish — no pre-treatment required before use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, and machining centers that accept a straight-cylindrical shank tool in the 0.5500-inch diameter class.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and operated by machinists or toolroom technicians. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a drill chuck or collet before running the spindle. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing or inspecting tooling. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish, and never ream a hole that has not been pre-drilled or bored to the correct undersize allowance.
