Value Collection SM35BS08 Taper Reamer Size 8 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM35BS08 is a Brown and Sharpe taper reamer designed for precision taper finishing in machined bores. This size 8 reamer features a straight flute geometry ground from high speed steel with a bright finish, making it well suited for use in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The small end diameter measures 0.75 inches, the large end diameter measures 0.979 inches, and the shank diameter is 0.8125 inches (13/16 inches). Overall length is 8.125 inches with a flute length of 5.5 inches. Right-hand cut configuration is standard. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians use this reamer to finish or restore Brown and Sharpe taper seats to close tolerances.

This reamer is applied wherever Brown and Sharpe taper seats require final sizing, light stock removal, or cleanup after rough boring. Common applications include machine tool spindles, arbors, toolholders, and precision fixtures that rely on Brown and Sharpe taper fits. It is suited for manual operation in a drill press or lathe, or use with appropriate taper reaming fixtures in a machining center. The bright finish reduces galling on light cuts in softer materials.

Key Features

• Brown and Sharpe taper size 8 geometry for standardized taper seat finishing
• High speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces
• Straight flute design provides stable cutting action and easy chip clearance on through bores
• Right-hand cut, compatible with standard machine spindle rotation
• Bright finish reduces friction on light finishing passes
• 5.5-inch flute length provides adequate reach for typical taper bore depths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service reamer for applications requiring Brown and Sharpe taper size 8 seats in machine tools, fixtures, and precision assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with taper reaming procedures. Secure the workpiece firmly and ensure the reamer is properly aligned with the bore centerline before beginning the cut to avoid bell-mouthing or chatter. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material and advance the reamer at a consistent feed rate. Inspect the taper seat with a Blue check or gauge after reaming to verify proper fit before assembly.
