Value Collection SM2000100 Hand Reamer 1 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM2000100 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 reamer features a 1-inch diameter cutting edge and 10 spiral flutes configured for left-hand spiral direction with right-hand cutting action. The spiral flute geometry promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces chatter during the reaming pass. Overall length is 10-7/8 inches with a flute length of 5-7/16 inches, providing solid working depth on standard through-holes and blind bores. The straight shank fits conventional drill press chucks and hand-reaming tap wrenches.

This hand reamer is suited for tool-and-die, maintenance machining, and general metalworking tasks where a drilled hole requires accurate sizing and a clean, smooth finish. It is appropriate for use in manual reaming operations where a machine reamer is impractical or where fine feed control is needed. Typical installers include machinists, millwrights, pipefitters sizing pipe flanges, and HVAC or plumbing tradespeople finishing bored mounting holes in equipment frames and brackets.

Key Features

• 1-inch cutting diameter for finishing standard bored or drilled holes to close tolerance
• 10 spiral flutes with left-hand helix and right-hand cut for smooth chip clearance and reduced chatter
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Bright uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of cutting edges before and after use
• 5-7/16 inch flute length accommodates typical through-hole depths in structural and equipment components
• Straight shank compatible with standard chucks and hand-reaming wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand reamer for use in manual reaming operations requiring a 1-inch nominal hole diameter in metalworking and maintenance machining environments.

Installation Notes

Hand reamers should be used with a proper tap wrench or reaming handle to maintain axial alignment through the bore. Always rotate in the cutting direction only — reversing rotation dulls cutting edges rapidly. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Secure the workpiece fully before reaming to prevent movement that can cause oversize or out-of-round holes.
