Value Collection SM2200154 Straight Shell Reamer 1-27/32 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM2200154 is a straight-flute shell reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking and machining applications. Built from high-speed steel, it delivers consistent cutting performance when enlarging and finishing pre-bored holes to tight tolerances. The reamer measures 1-27/32 inches (1.8438 inches decimal) in diameter with a 3-1/2 inch overall length, making it suited for moderate-depth finishing passes on the mill or manual lathe. The 1-inch center hole accepts a No. 8 arbor for secure, concentric mounting. Right-hand cutting direction matches standard spindle rotation on most machine tools. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians use this type of shell reamer for achieving fine surface finishes and accurate bore dimensions.

This shell reamer is used in production machining, maintenance-and-repair operations, and tool-room environments where bore accuracy and surface finish are critical. Its straight flute geometry suits through-bore finishing in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials. The No. 8 arbor compatibility is a common standard, making it straightforward to match with existing arbor tooling on knee mills, drill presses, and manual lathes. Applications include finishing bearing bores, bushing seats, and precision fit holes in both ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction provides wear resistance and edge retention across common metals
• 1-27/32 inch (1.8438 inch decimal) cutting diameter for precise bore finishing
• Straight flute design suits through-bore finishing applications
• 1-inch center hole sized for No. 8 arbor mounting
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine spindle rotation
• 3-1/2 inch overall length suited for moderate-depth bore work

Compatibility

Designed for use with No. 8 arbors featuring a 1-inch pilot. Suitable as a standard shell reamer replacement or addition in tool-room and production machining setups requiring a 1-27/32 inch finish diameter.

Installation Notes

Shell reamers must be mounted on a correctly sized arbor before use — verify the arbor pilot diameter matches the 1-inch center hole before tightening. Secure the arbor in the machine spindle per the machine manufacturer torque and drawbar procedures. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish.
