Value Collection SM2200146 Straight Shell Reamer

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM2200146 is a straight-flute shell reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking and machining applications. Built from high-speed steel, this reamer delivers consistent cutting performance and durability across a range of materials. It measures 1-23/32 inches (1.7188 inches decimal) in diameter with an overall length of 3-1/2 inches. The right-hand cutting direction and 1-inch center hole make it compatible with standard arbor mounting systems. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this reamer to bring bored or drilled holes to final size and surface finish tolerance.

This shell reamer is suited for production and maintenance machining environments where accurate hole sizing is required. The straight flute geometry works well in softer metals and materials that do not require the chip-clearing advantages of spiral fluting. It accepts a Number 8 arbor, which is the standard mounting for shell reamers in this diameter range. Typical applications include finish reaming of holes in steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys in job shop, toolroom, and light industrial settings.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with Number 8 arbors standard to shell reamer setups in this diameter class. No specific machine model compatibility was provided in product data.

Installation Notes

Shell reamers are installed by machinists on appropriate arbors mounted in drill presses, milling machines, or lathes. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the arbor is properly seated and secured before mounting the reamer. Use cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Do not attempt to use this reamer as a drill or to remove excessive material — it is a finishing tool intended for light stock removal only.
