Value Collection SM0405960 Chucking Reamer 0.5960 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM0405960 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to bring bored or drilled holes to a precise finished diameter of 0.5960 inches. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers consistent dimensional accuracy in through-hole and blind-hole finishing operations. The tool measures 8 inches in overall length with a 2-inch flute length, and features a straight-cylindrical shank for secure, concentric chuck mounting. Cutting direction is right hand. It is suited for machine shop, toolroom, and production environments where hole-tolerance control is critical.

This chucking reamer is intended for use in drill presses, lathes, milling machines, and CNC machining centers capable of holding a straight-cylindrical shank. It is appropriate for finishing operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals where a reamed fit is required. The 0.5960-inch diameter falls within the 0.5000 to 0.6999 inch reamer diameter range, making it a standard toolroom size for close-tolerance hole finishing in general metalworking and maintenance applications.

Key Features

• Finished reamer diameter of 0.5960 inches for precise hole sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Straight-flute geometry for smooth cutting action in through and blind holes
• Bright, uncoated finish for general-purpose use without coating-related dimensional offset
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collets
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional machine spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chucking reamer for use in any machine tool capable of accepting a straight-cylindrical shank and maintaining the feed and speed rates appropriate for HSS tooling in metalworking applications.

Installation Notes

This reamer is installed and operated by machinists or toolroom technicians. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a drill chuck or collet before operation, and verify runout is within acceptable limits to maintain hole tolerance. Always reduce spindle speed significantly compared to drilling operations, and apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Never force the reamer or reverse spindle direction while the tool is engaged in the workpiece.
