Value Collection SM0405970 Chucking Reamer 0.5970 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM0405970 is a 6-flute, straight-flute chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in machine shop and production environments. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers accurate sizing of drilled or bored holes to a finished diameter of 0.5970 inches. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks or collet holders. With an overall length of 8 inches and a flute length of 2 inches, this reamer suits through-hole and blind-hole finishing operations on a wide range of metals and engineered materials.

This chucking reamer is intended for use in CNC machining centers, knee mills, drill presses, and manual lathes where a finished, close-tolerance bore is required. The right-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with standard machine spindle rotation. It is appropriate for production and maintenance machinists working with steel, aluminum, cast iron, brass, and similar workpiece materials where hole quality and dimensional accuracy are critical.

Key Features

• Finished reaming diameter of 0.5970 inches for precise hole sizing
• 6 straight flutes for smooth chip evacuation and consistent surface finish
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides good wear resistance across common workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish — suitable for use with standard cutting fluids
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with drill chucks and collet holders
• Right-hand cutting direction matches standard machine spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling addition for machines accepting straight-cylindrical shank reamers in the 0.5000 to 0.6999 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed and operated by qualified machinists. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the reamer from the chuck or collet. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Do not use a chucking reamer to remove excessive stock — pre-drill or bore the hole to within 0.005 to 0.015 inches of final diameter before reaming.
