Value Collection SM0402985 Chucking Reamer 0.2985in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM0402985 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to bring bored or drilled holes to a precise finished diameter of 0.2985 inches. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers consistent sizing in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It features a straight-cylindrical shank for secure seating in standard drill chucks or collet holders. With a 6-inch overall length and a 1.5-inch flute length, it is well suited for moderate-depth reaming operations in machine shop and production environments. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional spindle rotation.

This chucking reamer is used in metalworking applications where hole finish and dimensional accuracy are critical. It is appropriate for use on drill presses, lathes, milling machines, and CNC machining centers. Typical applications include fitting dowel pins, bearing bores, and precision-tolerance holes in tooling, fixtures, and mechanical assemblies. The straight flute geometry is preferred for through-holes and shorter reaming depths where chip clearance is straightforward.

Key Features

• Finished reaming diameter of 0.2985 inches for tight-tolerance hole sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a broad range of workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish — ready for use as supplied, no additional prep required
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Right-hand cutting direction for use with conventional spindle rotation
• 6-inch overall length with 1.5-inch flute length suits moderate-depth through-hole applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, milling machines, and CNC machining centers equipped with drill chucks or collet holders accepting a straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and operated by machinists and toolroom technicians. Before mounting, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the chuck or collet is clean and free of debris. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly to minimize runout, which directly affects finished hole quality. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish.
