Value Collection SM24N00 Taper Pin Reamer Size 0 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM24N00 is a straight-flute taper pin reamer sized for a No. 0 taper pin, designed to ream and finish tapered holes to precise dimensions in metal components. Built from high-speed steel (HSS), this reamer delivers consistent cutting performance in general-purpose machining applications. The tool features a small end diameter of 0.1287 inches and a large end diameter of 0.1638 inches, with a taper rate of 1:48 conforming to standard taper pin geometry. The bright, uncoated finish is appropriate for use with cutting fluids. Right-hand cutting direction suits standard machine spindle rotation. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics reach for this reamer when aligning shafts, collars, and mechanical assemblies using taper pin fastening methods.

This reamer is used wherever taper pin holes require enlarging, finishing, or shaping to accept a No. 0 taper pin. Typical applications include fitting taper pins in shaft-to-hub connections, gear assemblies, and precision mechanical linkages in both manual and CNC machining environments. It is equally suited to production floor use and maintenance repair operations. The straight flute geometry makes it appropriate for through-hole reaming in mild steels, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials. General-purpose performance rating makes this a standard bench and machine tool for job shops and industrial maintenance programs.

Key Features

• No. 0 taper pin size with a 1:48 taper rate matching standard taper pin specifications
• High-speed steel construction for durability in general-purpose metal cutting
• Straight flute design for clean, consistent hole finishing in through-hole applications
• Bright/uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids
• Right-hand cut for use with standard drill press and manual machine spindle rotation
• Straight shank at 0.1719 inches diameter fits standard collets and drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or standard-stock taper pin reamer for No. 0 taper pin applications in conventional and CNC machining setups requiring a 1:48 taper rate.

Installation Notes

This reamer is typically installed by machinists or maintenance mechanics in a drill press, milling machine, or hand-held brace using appropriate collet or chuck for the 0.1719-inch straight shank. Always secure the workpiece firmly before reaming and apply cutting fluid throughout the operation to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Ream at reduced spindle speeds compared to drilling and avoid reversing the tool under power, as this can damage the cutting edges. Inspect the finished hole with the corresponding taper pin before assembly to confirm proper seating depth.
