Value Collection SM0405180 Chucking Reamer Hss 0.518 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM0405180 is a straight-flute chucking reamer ground to a 0.5180-inch diameter and built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. At 8 inches overall length with a 2-inch flute length and a straight-cylindrical shank, it is sized for use in drill presses, lathes, and CNC turning centers where a machine-held reamer is required. The right-hand cutting direction and HSS construction make it a practical choice for finishing bored or drilled holes to close-tolerance diameters in ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians use this style of reamer to bring a pre-drilled hole to a final, precise diameter with a smooth surface finish.

This chucking reamer is suited for general-purpose machine shop and maintenance applications where holes in the 0.5000- to 0.6999-inch decimal-inch diameter range need to be finish-reamed. It fits standard three-jaw chucks and collet systems that accept a straight-cylindrical shank. Typical applications include production machining, fixture building, and repair work on pumps, gearboxes, and hydraulic components where bore finish and dimensional accuracy are critical.

Key Features

• 0.5180-inch reamer diameter for precise hole finishing in the 0.5000-0.6999 inch diameter range
• HSS construction provides toughness and wear resistance for use on a wide range of metals
• Straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in drill chucks and collet holders
• Straight flute design handles most through-hole and short blind-hole applications
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation
• Bright, uncoated finish allows visual inspection of cutting edges without coating interference

Compatibility

Designed as a machine-held chucking reamer for use in drill presses, lathes, and machining centers equipped with a chuck or collet system that accepts a straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified maintenance technician should install and operate this reamer. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before loading or removing the tool from the chuck or collet. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve bore finish. Do not hand-ream with a chucking reamer; use the correct floating reamer holder or rigid chuck and ensure the pre-drilled hole is sized to the recommended stock allowance before reaming.
