Value Collection SM0405760 Chucking Reamer 0.5760 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM0405760 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to bring bored or drilled holes to a precise, finished diameter. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers clean material removal and consistent sizing in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The reamer measures 0.5760 inches in diameter with an 8-inch overall length and a 2-inch flute length. Six right-hand straight flutes distribute cutting load evenly and produce a smooth bore finish. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in a drill chuck or collet holder for positive grip and minimal runout.

This chucking reamer is suited for machine shop, tool room, and production finishing operations where a reamed hole tolerance is required. It is intended for use in drill presses, lathes, CNC machining centers, or manual milling machines. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians reach for this style of reamer when a drilled hole needs to be opened to a tight, repeatable final size. The 0.5760-inch diameter falls within the 0.5000 to 0.6999-inch range, making it a common choice for shaft-fit and dowel-fit applications across general metalworking.

Key Features

• 0.5760-inch finished reaming diameter for precise hole sizing
• HSS construction provides good hardness and wear resistance across common workpiece materials
• 6 straight flutes cut right-hand for smooth, chatter-resistant stock removal
• 8-inch overall length allows reach into deeper workpiece setups
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect dimensional accuracy
• Straight-cylindrical shank for secure seating in standard chucks and collet holders

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer for use in any machine tool equipped with a standard drill chuck or collet capable of holding a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.5760-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed by machinists or toolroom technicians using a drill chuck, collet, or floating reamer holder. Ensure the machine spindle and workpiece are properly aligned before engaging the reamer to avoid bell-mouthing or taper in the finished bore. Always reduce spindle speed relative to the equivalent drill operation and apply appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and maintain surface finish. Never reverse a reamer under power, as this damages the cutting edges.
