Value Collection SM2000040 Hand Reamer 5/8 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM2000040 is a hand reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metal fabrication and machining applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool delivers consistent sizing and smooth surface finish in pre-drilled or bored holes. It features a 5/8 inch reaming diameter, a spiral flute design with left-hand spiral direction, and a right-hand cutting action. Eight flutes distribute cutting load evenly, reducing chatter and improving hole roundness. The straight shank provides secure chuck or tap-wrench holding. Machinists, tool and die workers, and maintenance technicians rely on this style of reamer for final-pass hole refinement.

This reamer is suited for hand reaming operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals where tight bore tolerances and smooth finishes are required. The 3.5 inch flute length accommodates through-hole and blind-hole work across a range of material thicknesses. It is commonly used in maintenance, repair, and production environments where holes require accurate sizing before press-fitting, pinning, or bearing installation. The 7 inch overall length provides adequate reach without excessive deflection during manual operation.

Key Features

• 5/8 inch reaming diameter for precise hole sizing
• High speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Left-hand spiral flutes with right-hand cutting direction reduce chatter and improve chip evacuation
• 8-flute configuration distributes cutting load evenly for improved hole roundness
• Straight shank compatible with standard tap wrenches and chucks
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose reaming without specialized coolant requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand reamer for use with standard tap wrenches and compatible holding fixtures that accept a straight shank configuration.

Installation Notes

Hand reamers are installed and operated by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench or suitable hand-reaming fixture. The workpiece should be secured firmly before reaming begins, and the hole should be pre-drilled or bored to the appropriate under-size prior to reaming. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Never reverse the reamer under load, as reversing damages the cutting edges.
