Value Collection SM1900022 Hand Reamer 11/32 in 6 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM1900022 is a straight-flute hand reamer designed to finish and size drilled holes to precise tolerances. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers clean, accurate results in metal fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications. The reamer measures 11/32 inches (0.3438 inches decimal) in diameter, features 6 flutes for smooth chip evacuation, and has an overall length of 4-3/4 inches. A straight shank provides secure chuck or tap-wrench engagement during use. This tool is suited for hand-driven operation by machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, and maintenance technicians who need to true up an undersized or rough-bored hole.

This hand reamer is used in light-duty finishing operations where a drilled hole must be brought to a specific diameter with a smooth surface finish. Typical applications include sizing holes in pipe flanges, fittings, brackets, and structural components in both residential and commercial settings. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional hand-reaming technique. It is well-suited for job-site use in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical service where precise hole sizing is required before fitting insertion or fastener installation.

Key Features

• 11/32 inches (0.3438 inches) reamer diameter for precise hole sizing
• High-speed steel construction for durability across a range of metals
• 6 straight flutes for efficient chip clearance and smooth finish
• Bright uncoated finish for easy wear inspection during service
• Right-hand cut with straight shank for use in standard tap wrenches or chucks
• Compact 4-3/4 inches overall length for controlled hand-driven operation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hand reamer for use with tap wrenches or hand-held chuck drivers; fits any application requiring an 11/32 inches finished hole diameter in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Installation Notes

Hand reamers should be turned only in the cutting direction — never reverse rotation, as this dulls the cutting edges. Apply consistent, moderate downward pressure while turning with a tap wrench for best results. Use a cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Secure the workpiece before reaming to prevent movement and maintain hole alignment.
