Value Collection 144429605640000 Chucking Reamer Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 144429605640000 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to bring bored or drilled holes to a precise finished diameter of 0.5640 inches. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers clean, accurate results in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks or collet holders. With 8 flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, it produces smooth, consistent hole walls with minimal chatter. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians rely on this style of reamer for finishing operations that require tight tolerances.

This chucking reamer is suited for general-purpose machine shop use, including CNC machining centers, manual lathes, drill presses, and bridgeport-style mills. It is appropriate for finish-reaming holes in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials where close hole tolerances are required. The 0.5640-inch diameter falls within the 0.5000 to 0.6999 inch range, making it a mid-range fractional size commonly encountered in fixture work, bushing installation, and precision assembly operations.

Key Features

• 0.5640 inch finished diameter for precise hole sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a wide range of workpiece materials
• 8 straight flutes for smooth cutting action and efficient chip clearance
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine spindle rotation
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids
• Straight-cylindrical shank for secure chuck or collet holding

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer for use in standard drill chucks and collet holders on CNC machining centers, manual mills, lathes, and drill presses that accept straight-cylindrical shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed by licensed machinists and toolroom technicians. Always ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the tool from the chuck or collet. Pre-drill or bore the hole to within 0.005 to 0.015 inches of finished diameter before reaming; specific allowances should follow shop standards and tooling manufacturer guidance. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve finish quality.
