Value Collection SM2000036 Hand Reamer 9/16 in 8 Flutes Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM2000036 is a hand reamer designed to finish and size pre-drilled or bored holes to a precise 9/16-inch diameter. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers consistent material removal and long service life in metalworking and machining applications. The spiral flute geometry with a left-hand spiral and right-hand cut provides smooth chip evacuation and reduces chatter during operation. At 6-1/2 inches overall length with a 3-1/4-inch flute length and 8 flutes, this reamer is suited for manual reaming tasks requiring accuracy and a clean bore finish.

This hand reamer is used in machine shops, fabrication environments, and maintenance settings where hole finishing to close tolerances is required. It is appropriate for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in benchtop or handheld applications. The straight shank accepts standard drill presses, tapping handles, or hand reaming wrenches. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians typically deploy this type of reamer as a finishing step after drilling or boring.

Key Features

• 9/16-inch reamer diameter for precise hole finishing
• High-speed steel construction for durability across metal workpieces
• Left-hand spiral flutes promote smooth chip flow during right-hand cutting
• 8 flutes provide a fine, consistent bore surface finish
• Bright, uncoated finish — suitable for use with cutting fluids
• Straight shank compatible with standard reaming handles and drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hand reamer for use in standard straight-shank reaming handles, tapping wrenches, and drill press chucks compatible with 9/16-inch diameter reamers.

Installation Notes

Reaming is typically performed by machinists or tooling technicians after a hole has been drilled undersize to allow for finishing stock. Always apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tool life. Secure the workpiece firmly before reaming and advance the reamer steadily without reversing rotation, as reversing can dull the cutting edges. Follow applicable shop safety practices including eye protection and chip management.
