Value Collection SM0405600 Chucking Reamer 0.56 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM0405600 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to finish-ream drilled or bored holes to a precise 0.5600-inch diameter. Made from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers clean, accurate hole sizing in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in a drill chuck or collet, and the right-hand cutting direction suits standard spindle rotation. With an overall length of 8 inches and a 2-inch flute length, it provides adequate reach for common through-hole and blind-hole reaming operations in production and maintenance machining environments.

This chucking reamer is suited for machine-tool applications including drill presses, lathes, and milling machines where a drilled hole must be brought to a tight-tolerance finished diameter. It is commonly used by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working in metalworking shops, manufacturing facilities, and industrial maintenance settings. The 0.5600-inch diameter falls within the 0.5000- to 0.6999-inch decimal-inch reamer range, making it a standard selection for finish operations on half-inch-class bores.

Key Features

• 0.5600-inch reaming diameter for precise hole finishing in the half-inch class
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides durability across common workpiece materials
• Straight-flute geometry suited for through-holes and stable cutting action
• Bright, uncoated finish allows visual inspection of cutting edge condition
• Straight-cylindrical shank for direct chucking in standard drill chucks or collets
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, engine lathes, and vertical milling machines equipped with a drill chuck or collet capable of holding a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.5000- to 0.6999-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a drill chuck or collet before operation, and verify runout with a dial indicator when tolerance is critical. Always apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Leave adequate stock for the reamer to remove — typical stock allowance for a reamer of this size is determined by shop practice and drawing callout, not approximated. Inspect cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the reamer if edges are dull.
