Value Collection SM2300148 Spiral Shell Reamer 1-3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM2300148 is a spiral shell reamer designed for precision hole finishing and sizing in metalworking applications. Built from high-speed steel, it features a 1-3/4 inch cutting diameter and a 3-1/2 inch overall length. The spiral flute geometry runs left hand, while the cutting direction is right hand, producing a smooth, chatter-resistant cut. The 1 inch center hole accepts a No. 8 arbor for secure mounting on a press or machine spindle. This tool is used by machinists and tool-and-die tradespeople for final-pass reaming where tight tolerances and clean bore finishes are required.

This shell reamer is suited for production and maintenance machining environments where repeatable bore sizing is critical. It is appropriate for use on ferrous and non-ferrous materials in both manual and CNC machine setups. The arbor-mounted design allows efficient tool changes on machines equipped with No. 8 arbor compatibility, making it a practical choice for shops running multi-step boring and reaming operations on medium to large diameter bores.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability and heat resistance during cutting
• 1-3/4 inch reamer diameter for medium-to-large bore finishing
• 3-1/2 inch overall length for stable reach in standard machine setups
• Left hand spiral flute with right hand cut for reduced chatter and smooth finish
• 1 inch center hole with No. 8 arbor compatibility for positive drive mounting
• Spiral flute design aids chip evacuation during through-hole reaming passes

Compatibility

Designed for use with No. 8 arbors. Fits standard arbor-mount shell reamer setups accepting a 1 inch center hole drive configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation of this tool should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with reaming procedures and machine tooling standards. Ensure the machine spindle and arbor are fully de-energized and locked out before mounting or removing the reamer. Verify arbor size, runout, and seating before commencing a cut. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain bore finish quality.
