Value Collection ST0630048 Bridge Reamer 3/4 in Hss 5 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ST0630048 is a bridge reamer designed for enlarging and aligning holes in structural steel, heavy fabrication, and ironwork applications. It features a 3/4 inch diameter cutting edge, a 7-3/8 inch straight flute length, and a 12 inch overall length. Constructed from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this reamer delivers consistent material removal in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 3 Morse taper shank provides a secure, self-holding connection in compatible drill press spindles and portable drilling equipment. With 5 straight flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, it produces clean, accurate bores in structural and fabricated assemblies.

This bridge reamer is suited for structural steel erection, bridge construction, heavy equipment fabrication, and ironworker applications where bolt holes require alignment or enlargement before fastener installation. The Morse taper shank makes it compatible with standard taper-shank toolholders and drill press quills found in shop and field environments. Machinists, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians typically use this tool in drill presses or mag-base drills when working with steel plate, beam flanges, and similar structural members.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for drill presses, mag-base drills, and similar equipment fitted with a No. 3 Morse taper spindle or toolholder.

Installation Notes

This reamer is installed by a machinist or ironworker into a compatible Morse taper spindle or toolholder. Before mounting, ensure the machine is fully de-energized and the spindle is stationary. Clean the taper shank and spindle bore of chips and oil before seating to ensure proper contact and runout accuracy. Always start with a correctly sized pilot hole and use appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and maintain bore quality.
