Value Collection 5-014-065 Hand Expansion Reamer 5/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5-014-065 is a hand expansion reamer designed for precision bore finishing in metal fabrication and mechanical assembly applications. Built from high speed steel with a bright polished coating, this reamer features a straight shank and left-hand spiral flute geometry with a right-hand cut. The 5/8 inch reamer diameter supports up to 0.01 inches of maximum expansion, allowing the technician to fine-tune bore size on the bench or in the field. With 6 flutes and a 3 inch flute length, it delivers consistent stock removal and a smooth finish in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This hand expansion reamer is suited for tool and die work, maintenance machining, and precision fitting tasks where tight bore tolerances are required. It is typically used by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics working on bearing bores, bushing seats, and similar close-tolerance holes. The straight shank accepts standard reamer drivers and tap wrenches, making it compatible with common hand reaming setups in both shop and field environments.

Key Features

• 5/8 inch reamer diameter with up to 0.01 inch maximum expansion range
• High speed steel construction for durability in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Bright polished coating reduces friction and aids chip evacuation
• Left-hand spiral flute with right-hand cut for smooth, chatter-free reaming
• 6 flutes over a 3 inch flute length for consistent bore finish
• Straight shank compatible with standard tap wrenches and reamer drivers

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hand expansion reamer suitable for general-purpose bore finishing operations where a 5/8 inch diameter straight-shank reamer is specified.

Installation Notes

Hand expansion reamers are installed and operated by machinists or maintenance mechanics using a standard tap wrench or reamer driver. Secure the workpiece firmly before reaming and apply cutting fluid appropriate for the material being reamed. Adjust the expansion collar only within the stated maximum expansion range to avoid tool damage or bore distortion. Always follow applicable shop safety practices and wear appropriate eye protection when operating cutting tools.
