Value Collection SM1900032 Hand Reamer 1/2 in 8 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM1900032 is a straight-flute hand reamer designed to finish and size drilled holes to precise tolerances. Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it delivers consistent cutting performance on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The reamer measures 0.5 inches in diameter with a 3 inch flute length and a 6 inch overall length. Eight right-hand cutting flutes provide smooth material removal and a clean bore finish. The straight shank accepts standard reamer drivers and tap wrenches. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use this tool when a drilled hole must be brought to final diameter with tight dimensional control.

This hand reamer is suited for bench work, field maintenance, and light production finishing where a power reamer is impractical or unavailable. The straight-flute geometry makes it appropriate for through-holes in mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials. At 0.5 inches nominal diameter, it is a common size for pipe flange bolt holes, bearing bores, and general mechanical assembly work. It is sold and packaged as a single unit.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Straight-flute design suited for through-hole finishing applications
• Eight flutes for smooth cutting action and accurate bore sizing
• Right-hand cut with a straight shank compatible with standard tap wrenches and reamer drivers
• Bright uncoated finish allows visual inspection of the cutting edges before and after use
• Compact 6 inch overall length for use in confined workspaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch nominal hand reamer for use with conventional tap wrenches and straight-shank reamer drivers in bench or field finishing operations.

Installation Notes

Hand reamers are turned by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench or equivalent driver. Always ream in the cutting direction only — reversing rotation dulls the cutting edges. The workpiece should be secured before reaming to prevent movement. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve bore finish.
