Value Collection SM1900048 Hand Reamer 3/4 in 8 Flutes Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM1900048 is a straight-flute hand reamer designed to finish-ream drilled or bored holes to precise tolerances by hand. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers consistent cutting performance on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It measures 0.750 inches in diameter with a flute length of 4-3/16 inches and an overall length of 8-3/8 inches. Eight flutes provide smooth, even material removal and a clean bore finish. The straight shank accepts standard reamer drivers and tap wrenches. Machinists, toolmakers, pipefitters, and HVAC service techs use this tool to bring holes to final size when drilling alone cannot achieve the required fit.

This hand reamer is suited for use in machine shops, maintenance environments, and field service applications where a precise 3/4-inch bore finish is required. Common applications include fitting valve stems, shaft bores, and connector fittings in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial assemblies. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional manual reaming operations. It is sold individually and intended for use with a tap wrench or adjustable handle to apply controlled torque during the cut.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials
• Eight straight flutes deliver smooth, chatter-free material removal and a consistent bore finish
• 3/4-inch nominal diameter with 4-3/16-inch flute length handles typical bore depths in mechanical assemblies
• Bright, uncoated finish simplifies inspection and resharpening
• Straight shank accepts standard tap wrenches and reamer drivers
• Right-hand cut matches conventional manual reaming practice

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use hand reamer for any application requiring a finish-reamed 3/4-inch diameter bore with a standard straight shank and right-hand cutting direction.

Installation Notes

Hand reamers are operated by machinists or trade professionals using a tap wrench or adjustable handle. Always secure the workpiece before reaming and apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to reduce heat and improve finish. Feed the reamer with steady, even forward pressure and continuous rotation in the cutting direction only — reversing rotation can dull or chip the cutting edges. Follow applicable shop safety practices and wear eye protection during all reaming operations.
