Value Collection SM2200228 Straight Shell Reamer 2-7/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM2200228 is a straight-flute shell reamer designed for precision bore finishing in metalworking applications. Measuring 2-7/16 inches (2.4375 inches decimal) in cutting diameter with a 3-3/4 inch overall length, this tool enlarges and refines pre-bored holes to tight tolerances. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers consistent cutting performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The right-hand cutting direction and straight flute geometry make it well-suited for general-purpose reaming in machine shop and maintenance environments. A 1-1/4 inch center hole accepts a No. 9 arbor for secure mounting on standard reaming setups.

This shell reamer is used in machine shop, toolroom, and industrial maintenance settings where large-diameter bores require accurate sizing after drilling or rough boring. It is appropriate for use in vertical mills, lathes, and drill presses with the correct arbor. Typical applications include bearing bores, housing fits, and precision hole finishing in structural and mechanical components. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install and operate this reamer as part of multi-step bore finishing operations.

Key Features

• 2-7/16 inch (2.4375 inch decimal) cutting diameter for large-bore finishing
• High-speed steel construction for durability across common workpiece materials
• Straight flute design for smooth, consistent material removal
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard machine spindle rotation
• 1-1/4 inch center hole compatible with No. 9 arbor
• 3-3/4 inch overall length provides rigidity in shell reamer setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with a No. 9 reamer arbor featuring a 1-1/4 inch pilot diameter. Suitable for standard shell reamer arbors used on mills, lathes, and drill presses configured for large-diameter bore finishing.

Installation Notes

Shell reamers are installed and operated by machinists and skilled tradespeople familiar with machine tool operation. Mount the reamer securely to a properly sized No. 9 arbor before use, and ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped before changing or adjusting the tool. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Always verify bore pre-sizing is within recommended stock-removal limits before reaming to final diameter.
