Value Collection SM0501800 Chucking Reamer 18mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM0501800 is a straight-flute chucking reamer designed to bring bored or drilled holes to a precise finished diameter of 18.00 mm (0.7087 inches). Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers clean, accurate sizing in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in a drill chuck or collet, and the right-hand cutting direction suits standard machine spindle rotation. At 9 inches overall length with a 2.25-inch flute length, it provides the reach and chip clearance needed for typical production and maintenance reaming operations.

This reamer is intended for use on manual mills, drill presses, lathes, and CNC machining centers where a finished hole tolerance is required after drilling or boring. It is a common tool in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and toolroom environments. Machinists and tool-and-die makers typically reach for this style of reamer when bringing a hole to a slip or press-fit tolerance in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials. The 18.00 mm diameter falls in the 0.7000 to 0.9999 decimal-inch range, making it a standard size for metric-dimensioned workpieces.

Key Features

• 18.00 mm (0.7087 inches) finished hole diameter for precise metric sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a broad range of materials
• Straight flute geometry suited to through-holes and most general reaming applications
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine spindle rotation
• Bright, uncoated finish for straightforward inspection and re-sharpening
• Straight-cylindrical shank for reliable chuck or collet holding

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill chucks, collets, and floating reamer holders on manual and CNC machine tools that accept a straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified tool operator should install and run this reamer. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before loading or unloading the tool. Use the appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to promote tool life and surface finish quality. Verify hole pre-size, spindle speed, and feed rate are set to values appropriate for HSS tooling before beginning the cut.
