Value Collection SM1900132 Hand Reamer 1-1/2 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM1900132 is a straight-flute hand reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metal fabrication, machining, and maintenance applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers consistent sizing and smooth bore surfaces in drilled or rough-bored holes. It measures 1-1/2 inches in diameter with a 6-1/2 inch flute length and a 13 inch overall length. The 12-flute geometry distributes cutting load evenly, reducing chatter and improving surface finish. The straight shank accepts standard machine or hand-reaming setups. Weighing 5.08 pounds, it is a solid, well-balanced tool suited for heavy-duty reaming work.

This reamer is used in job shop, maintenance, and toolroom environments where precise hole sizing to 1-1/2 inches is required. It is well suited for machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The right-hand cut configuration is standard for manual and low-speed machine reaming operations. Typical applications include bearing housing bores, bushing fits, shaft holes, and other close-tolerance cylindrical fits where a drilled or bored hole requires final sizing and finish.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch reamer diameter (1.5000 inches decimal, 38.10 mm) for precise hole finishing
• 12 straight flutes distribute cutting forces evenly and reduce chatter
• High speed steel construction provides durability across ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces
• Bright, uncoated finish allows clear visual inspection of cutting edges
• Right-hand cut, straight shank compatible with standard hand and machine reaming setups
• 13 inch overall length with 6-1/2 inch flute length suits deep-reach applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard straight-shank hand reamer suitable for use with compatible reamer drivers, tap wrenches, or low-speed machine spindles that accept a 1-1/2 inch straight-shank tool.

Installation Notes

Hand reamers should be used with cutting fluid or an appropriate threading and reaming oil to extend tool life and improve bore finish. Secure the workpiece firmly before reaming and apply steady, even pressure in the cutting direction only — never reverse a reamer under load, as this dulls cutting edges rapidly. Always wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when handling HSS cutting tools. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and equipment manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed and feed rates when using this reamer in a machine setup.
