Value Collection SM2200148 Straight Shell Reamer 1-3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM2200148 is a straight flute shell reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking applications. Built from high-speed steel, this reamer enlarges and refines pre-drilled or bored holes to a finished diameter of 1.75 inches. The straight flute geometry provides clean, consistent cutting action suited to a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It measures 3.5 inches in overall length and is sized for use with a No. 8 arbor, keeping setup straightforward for machinists and toolroom technicians. Right-hand cutting direction aligns with standard rotational practice on most manual and CNC equipment.

This shell reamer is intended for precision finishing operations in machine shops, toolrooms, and light manufacturing environments. It is well suited for operators working on manual mills, lathes, or drill presses where close-tolerance bore finishing is required. The 1-inch center hole accepts a No. 8 arbor, making it compatible with standard arbor tooling setups. Typical use cases include final sizing of through-holes in fixtures, jigs, and machined components where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are critical.

• High-speed steel construction for durability and wear resistance
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine rotation
• No. 8 arbor compatibility with 1-inch center hole for secure mounting
• 3.5-inch overall length for use in standard toolroom setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with No. 8 arbors featuring a 1-inch center hole; suitable as a shell reamer for precision bore finishing on standard milling, lathe, and drill press equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel familiar with reaming operations. Always secure the arbor and reamer assembly firmly before engaging the workpiece, and ensure the machine spindle is properly aligned to the bore centerline to avoid tool deflection or bell-mouthing. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and achieve the desired surface finish. Never hand-ream at speeds intended for machine operation, and always power down the spindle before mounting or removing the reamer.
