Value Collection 28030 Straight Shell Reamer 1-15/16 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 28030 is a straight-flute shell reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metal fabrication and machine shop applications. Built from high speed steel, it delivers consistent cutting performance on through-holes requiring tight dimensional tolerances. The reamer measures 1-15/16 inches in diameter with an overall length of 3-1/2 inches, and accepts a Number 8 arbor through its 1-inch center hole. Right-hand cutting direction suits standard spindle rotation on most milling machines and drill presses. Shell reamers of this type are mounted on a separate arbor rather than a solid shank, allowing one arbor to serve multiple reamer sizes.

This shell reamer is suited for finishing bored or drilled holes to precise diameters in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar machinable materials. It is used in production machine shops, tool rooms, and maintenance facilities where hole quality and dimensional accuracy are critical. The 1-15/16-inch diameter makes it appropriate for medium-to-large bore finishing work where a solid-shank reamer would be impractical. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this tooling.

Key Features

• 1-15/16 inch (1.9375 inch) reamer diameter for precise bore finishing
• 3-1/2 inch overall length provides adequate flute engagement for through-hole reaming
• Straight flute geometry suits reaming of non-interrupted, through-bore applications
• High speed steel construction offers durability across a range of machinable metals
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine spindle rotation
• Number 8 arbor compatibility with 1-inch center hole for use with standard shell reamer arbors

Compatibility

Designed for use with Number 8 shell reamer arbors. Fits standard arbor configurations accepting a 1-inch center hole.

Installation Notes

Shell reamers must be mounted on a compatible arbor before use - confirm arbor number and center hole diameter match before operation. Secure the arbor-reamer assembly in a rigid machine spindle; hand-reaming with a shell reamer is not recommended due to the arbor mount design. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Follow shop safety practices including proper workholding and machine guarding before initiating the cut.
