Value Collection SM2200056 Straight Shell Reamer 7/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM2200056 is a straight-flute shell reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metal fabrication and machining applications. Built from high-speed steel, this reamer delivers consistent sizing and surface finish when enlarging or finishing pre-drilled or bored holes. It measures 7/8 inch in diameter with an overall length of 2-1/2 inches and features a 1/2 inch center hole for arbor mounting. The right-hand cutting direction suits standard drill press and milling machine setups. This tool is intended for use with a No. 5 arbor and is well-suited for machinists, tool and die makers, and precision metalworking shops requiring close-tolerance hole finishing.

This shell reamer is applicable in general metalworking environments where bore finishing to a specific diameter is required. It is commonly used on drill presses, lathes, and milling machines in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production machining operations. The straight flute design is effective in materials that do not generate long, stringy chips and provides straightforward alignment during the reaming pass. The 7/8 inch diameter targets medium-bore finishing work common in fixture and component manufacturing.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability in general metalworking materials
• Straight flute design for clean, consistent material removal
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine setups
• 1/2 inch center hole sized for No. 5 arbor mounting
• Compact 2-1/2 inch overall length suited for tight-clearance applications

Compatibility

Compatible with No. 5 arbors via a 1/2 inch center hole. Designed as a shell-style reamer for use on drill presses, lathes, and milling machines performing precision bore finishing operations.

Installation Notes

Shell reamers should be mounted on a properly sized arbor before use and secured according to the arbor manufacturer's specifications. Always ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the reamer. Use cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Verify bore pre-size is within the recommended undersize allowance for the reamer diameter before beginning the finishing pass.
