Value Collection ST0620036 Bridge Reamer 9/16 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ST0620036 is a bridge reamer designed to enlarge and align drilled or punched holes in structural steel, plate, and fabricated assemblies. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers consistent material removal in demanding shop and field applications. The 9/16 inch cutting diameter and 5-1/8 inch straight flute length provide aggressive stock removal while maintaining hole roundness. The 2MT Morse taper shank mounts directly into a drill press, magnetic drill, or portable reaming setup. Five right-hand flutes promote smooth cutting action and efficient chip evacuation. Ironworkers, structural steel fabricators, and millwrights are the primary trades installing this tool.

This reamer is suited for structural steel assembly work where bolt holes require enlargement or alignment before fastener insertion. Typical applications include beam and column connections, bridge and infrastructure fabrication, and heavy equipment assembly where hole tolerances and alignment are critical. The small end diameter of 3/8 inch allows the tool to enter undersized or misaligned holes and self-pilot into the cut. It is appropriate for use in machine shops and on-site steel erection operations with compatible Morse taper tooling.

Key Features

• 9/16 inch cutting diameter with 5-1/8 inch straight flute length for deep reach into structural material
• High-speed steel construction provides heat and wear resistance in continuous reaming operations
• 2MT Morse taper shank ensures secure, self-holding mount in standard drill press and magnetic drill spindles
• Five right-hand straight flutes promote even cutting load and efficient chip clearance
• 3/8 inch small end diameter allows self-piloting entry into undersized or misaligned holes
• Bright uncoated finish maintains consistent cutting geometry without coating buildup

Compatibility

Designed for use with any drill press, magnetic drill, or reaming machine equipped with a No. 2 Morse taper spindle. Suitable for reaming mild steel, structural steel, and similar ferrous materials in fabrication and erection applications.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by ironworkers, machinists, or structural fabricators familiar with rotary cutting operations. Secure the Morse taper shank fully into the spindle socket before use and verify no runout before engaging the workpiece. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for high-speed steel tooling to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Secure the workpiece completely before reaming to prevent movement that could damage flutes or cause injury.
