Value Collection SM01N0037 Chucking Reamer 0.1040 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM01N0037 is a high-speed steel chucking reamer designed to finish-ream holes to a precise wire gauge size 37 diameter of 0.1040 inches. The straight flute geometry and right-hand cutting direction suit through-hole and blind-hole reaming in a variety of metals. Bright, uncoated HSS construction provides adequate hardness for general-purpose reaming in mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar workpiece materials. At 3.5 inches overall length with a 0.875-inch flute length, this compact reamer fits standard drill chucks and collet systems without extension. Four flutes deliver smooth cutting action and a clean, dimensionally accurate bore finish.

This chucking reamer is suited for machine-shop, tool-room, and production environments where holes must be brought to a close-tolerance final diameter after drilling. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in drill press chucks, milling machine collets, and CNC tool holders. Typical applications include fitting dowel pins, bushings, and precision fasteners that require a reamed bore rather than a drilled hole. The wire-gauge sizing makes it a common choice for instrument and component work requiring sub-0.110-inch bores.

Key Features

• Wire size 37 diameter — 0.1040 inches for close-tolerance bore finishing
• High-speed steel construction — suitable for a wide range of metal workpiece materials
• 4-flute straight design — smooth cutting and good chip clearance in through and blind holes
• Right-hand cutting direction — compatible with standard machine spindle rotation
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup risk in tight-tolerance applications
• Straight-cylindrical shank — drops directly into drill chucks and collet holders

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer for use in drill presses, milling machines, and CNC machining centers equipped with drill chucks or collets sized for a straight-cylindrical shank at this diameter range.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed by qualified machinists following standard machine shop practice. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and confirm runout is within acceptable limits before cutting. Always apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and achieve the intended surface finish. Pre-drill the hole close to final size before reaming to avoid overloading the flutes.
