Value Collection SM0405340 Chucking Reamer 0.534 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM0405340 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to bring bored or drilled holes to a precise finished diameter of 0.5340 inches. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers consistent sizing performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard chucks on drill presses, lathes, and CNC machines. With an overall length of 8 inches and a 2-inch flute length, it is suited for through-hole and shallow blind-hole finishing work where tight dimensional tolerances are required. Right-hand cutting direction follows standard machine spindle rotation.

This chucking reamer is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where finish reaming to a 0.5340-inch diameter is required. It is appropriate for both manual machine operation and CNC-controlled cycles. Typical applications include sizing holes for pins, bushings, bearings, and precision-fit fasteners in metal fabrication and repair work. The straight flute geometry is well suited for reaming softer and medium-hardness materials, providing clean chip evacuation in through-hole applications.

Key Features

• Finished diameter of 0.5340 inches for precise hole sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Straight flute design promotes clean chip evacuation in through-hole reaming
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose machine reaming
• Straight-cylindrical shank for secure chuck mounting on drill presses, lathes, and CNC equipment
• Right-hand cutting direction matches standard machine spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer for use in any machine tool equipped with a standard chuck capable of accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at the specified diameter.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and operated by machinists on drill presses, engine lathes, or CNC machining centers. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and the reamer is centered with the pre-drilled or bored hole before beginning the cut. Always run reamers at reduced spindle speeds compared to drilling, using appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material. Inspect the shank and chuck jaws for debris before seating to avoid runout that can affect finished hole accuracy.
