Value Collection SM2300132 Spiral Shell Reamer 1.5 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM2300132 is a spiral shell reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking and machining applications. Built from high-speed steel, this reamer features a right-hand cutting direction with a left-hand spiral flute geometry, which pulls chips downward and away from the cutting edge during operation. The 1.5-inch reamer diameter and 3-inch overall length make it suitable for enlarging and finishing pre-drilled holes to close tolerances. It accepts an arbor number 7 arbor and includes a 0.75-inch center hole for secure mounting and true running. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary installers of this tooling.

This shell reamer is used in production and toolroom environments where hole sizing and surface finish requirements are tight. The spiral flute design improves chip evacuation compared to straight-flute alternatives, making it well suited for through-hole reaming in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is appropriate for use on manual lathes, drill presses, and CNC machining centers equipped with a compatible arbor. A single unit is packaged per order.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Left-hand spiral flute promotes chip evacuation during right-hand cutting operations
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard machine spindle rotation
• 1.5-inch reamer diameter with 3-inch overall length for controlled material removal
• Arbor number 7 compatibility with 0.75-inch center hole for precise arbor mounting

Compatibility

Designed for use with a number 7 shell reamer arbor featuring a 0.75-inch center hole. Verify arbor taper and drive lug engagement before installation.

Installation Notes

Shell reamers are installed by a machinist or toolroom technician using the appropriate arbor. Power down the machine spindle and confirm the workpiece is securely clamped before mounting or changing tooling. Use cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Do not use a reamer to remove excessive stock — pre-drill or bore the hole to within the recommended undersize allowance before reaming.
