Value Collection SM31P0032 Taper Pipe Reamer 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM31P0032 is a straight-flute taper pipe reamer designed to finish and size tapered pipe threads in metal workpieces. Built from high-speed steel with a bright finish, it delivers consistent cutting performance across a range of pipe reaming applications. The reamer features a 0.751 inch major diameter, a 0.665 inch small end diameter, and a 1-3/8 inch flute length, with an overall length of 3-1/8 inches. The cylindrical straight shank allows secure chuck mounting on standard drill presses, lathes, or hand-held power tools. Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral geometry provide clean material removal with minimal chatter. This tool is sized for 1/2 inch pipe and is appropriate for use by pipefitters, plumbers, machinists, and general trade mechanics.

This reamer is suited for residential and light commercial pipe fabrication and maintenance work. It is used to ream drilled or punched holes to the precise taper required for threaded pipe connections, ensuring proper thread engagement and leak-free joints. Typical applications include sizing pipe ends before threading, cleaning up existing tapered holes, and preparing fittings in copper, iron, and steel pipe systems. The 0.751 inch diameter falls within the 0.7000 to 0.9999 inch reamer diameter range, making it appropriate for a standard 1/2 inch pipe bore.
