Value Collection 5-013-035 Hand Expansion Reamer 7/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5-013-035 is a hand expansion reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metal workpieces. It features a straight shank and straight flute geometry with a 7/16 inch (0.4375 inch) reamer diameter and a maximum expansion of 0.006 inches, allowing the cutting diameter to be adjusted within a controlled range. The flute length is 2 inches with a 5 inch overall length. Constructed from high speed steel with a bright polished finish, this reamer is built for durability in hand-reaming operations. Six flutes provide clean material removal with a right-hand cut direction. Machinists and tool and die technicians are the primary users.

This hand expansion reamer is suited for finishing and sizing drilled or bored holes to close tolerances in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and general metalworking environments. It is appropriate for light production and repair work where precise hole diameter control is required. The adjustable expansion range makes it useful when a fixed reamer would not achieve the exact finished diameter needed. It is intended for hand operation using a tap wrench or appropriate reamer handle.

Key Features

• Adjustable expansion up to 0.006 inches for fine diameter tuning
• 7/16 inch nominal reamer diameter with 0.4000 to 0.4999 inch diameter range
• High speed steel construction for hardness and wear resistance
• Bright polished coating reduces friction during cutting
• Six straight flutes with right-hand cut for smooth, accurate finishing
• Straight shank fits standard tap wrenches and reamer handles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hand expansion reamer for use in general metalworking and machining applications where adjustable hole finishing within the 0.4000 to 0.4999 inch diameter range is required.

Installation Notes

This reamer is installed by hand using a tap wrench or suitable reamer handle — do not use in a power drill or machine spindle, as hand expansion reamers are not rated for rotary machine use. Secure the workpiece before reaming and apply appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Expand the reamer only within the rated 0.006 inch maximum to avoid cracking the tool body. Follow applicable shop safety practices when working with sharp cutting tools.
