Value Collection SM1900016 Hand Reamer 1/4 in 6 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM1900016 is a straight-flute hand reamer designed to finish-ream holes to a precise 1/4 inch diameter. Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers consistent sizing and smooth bore surfaces in metal workpieces. The 6-flute, right-hand cut geometry provides even material removal and reduces chatter during manual reaming operations. With a 2 inch flute length and a 4 inch overall length, it is sized for controlled hand-tool use in tight or moderately accessible bores. The straight shank fits standard reamer drivers and tap wrenches. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians reach for this tool when a drilled hole needs to be brought to a tight tolerance finish diameter.

This reamer is suited for manual finishing of 1/4 inch holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials. It is used in maintenance and repair operations, light fabrication, and precision fitting work where a drilled hole must meet close-tolerance requirements before a pin, fastener, or fitting is installed. The compact 4 inch overall length makes it practical in bench work and field repair scenarios where a rigid setup is available to guide the cut.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch (0.2500 inch) finish diameter for precise hole sizing
• High speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 6 straight flutes with right-hand cut geometry for smooth, chatter-resistant material removal
• Bright uncoated finish preserves sharp cutting edges without coating buildup
• Straight shank compatible with standard tap wrenches and reamer drivers
• Compact 4 inch OAL suited to hand reaming in bench and field repair applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand reamer for manual finishing of 1/4 inch diameter holes in metalworking and maintenance applications where a straight-shank tool and standard tap wrench or reamer driver are used.

Installation Notes

Hand reaming should be performed by a machinist or qualified tradesperson using a tap wrench or suitable reamer driver to maintain axial alignment with the hole. Always apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Ream in a single continuous direction — reversing the cut can damage the cutting edges. Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning to prevent movement that can cause an oversized or tapered bore.
