Value Collection SM0405490 Chucking Reamer Hss 0.5490 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM0405490 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking applications. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers consistent sizing and smooth bore surfaces in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight-cylindrical shank allows secure chuck engagement on standard drill presses, lathes, and milling machines. At 0.5490 inches in diameter with an 8-inch overall length and a 2-inch flute length, it suits through-hole and blind-hole finishing work where tight tolerances are required.

This chucking reamer is suited for machine-shop and maintenance environments where accurate hole sizing in the 0.5000 to 0.6999 inch diameter range is needed. Right-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with standard spindle rotation. Typical applications include bearing seat finishing, bushing installation prep, and precision bore sizing on production or repair work. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians are the primary users in both job-shop and industrial maintenance settings.

Key Features

• HSS construction provides good wear resistance and edge retention across common workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose metal finishing operations
• Straight-cylindrical shank for reliable grip in standard chucks and collets
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with conventional machine spindle rotation
• 8-inch overall length provides reach for deeper setups without excessive overhang
• 2-inch flute length accommodates typical through-hole finishing passes

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer for machine finishing of holes in the 0.5000 to 0.6999 inch diameter range, compatible with standard drill press, lathe, or milling machine chucks that accept a straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with reaming procedures. Ensure the workpiece and machine spindle are properly secured before beginning. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Always bring the reamer to full speed before engaging the workpiece, and never reverse spindle direction while the reamer is engaged in a bore.
