Value Collection SM1500017 Chucking Reamer 17/64 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM1500017 is a 17/64 inch (0.2656 inch decimal) chucking reamer designed to finish-ream drilled holes to precise tolerances in metal workpieces. Built from cobalt steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers the heat resistance needed for harder alloys and high-speed operations. The straight-cylindrical shank seats firmly in a drill press chuck, lathe, or CNC turret. With 6 right-hand spiral flutes and a 1.5 inch flute length, it produces smooth bore walls with consistent chip evacuation. Machinists and toolroom technicians use this reamer as a reliable finishing tool where hole diameter accuracy and surface finish quality are critical.

This chucking reamer suits general metalworking applications including production machining, toolroom work, and maintenance shops. It is appropriate for use on ferrous metals, stainless steel, and other materials where cobalt-grade tooling is specified. The 6 inch overall length provides adequate reach for standard through-hole and shallow blind-hole reaming on vertical mills, drill presses, and lathes. It is sold individually and is intended for right-hand cutting rotation only.

Key Features

• Cobalt steel construction for improved hardness and heat resistance compared to standard high-speed steel
• 6 right-hand spiral flutes for smooth cutting action and efficient chip clearance
• Straight-cylindrical shank for direct chuck mounting without an adapter
• Bright uncoated finish — suitable for use with cutting fluid across a range of work materials
• 0.2656 inch decimal diameter for precise finished-hole sizing
• 6 inch overall length with 1.5 inch flute length for standard-depth reaming applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in any drill press, lathe, or CNC machine equipped with a chuck or collet that accepts a straight-cylindrical shank of the appropriate diameter.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers are installed by machinists and toolroom technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck or collet and verify runout before cutting. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the work material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Never use a chucking reamer to remove more material than the standard pre-reamed allowance — drill the hole to the correct undersize first.
