Value Collection ST0720032 Bridge Reamer 1/2 in Hss 2MT

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ST0720032 is a bridge reamer designed for enlarging and aligning holes in structural steel, fabrication, and heavy metalworking applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this reamer delivers consistent material removal at a 0.5 inch diameter. The spiral flute geometry and left-hand spiral with right-hand cut combination reduces chatter and produces a clean, accurate bore. With a 5-flute configuration and Morse taper shank, it seats firmly in compatible taper-shank holders. Machinists and ironworkers reach for this tool when standard drill sizes leave holes undersized or misaligned prior to bolting.

This bridge reamer is suited for structural steel assembly, bridge construction, ironwork, and general fabrication where bolt holes require final sizing or alignment. The 2MT Morse taper shank fits standard MT2 drill press spindles, magnetic drill presses, and taper-shank tool holders commonly found in machine shops and field ironworking setups. The 5-1/8 inch flute length and 9 inch overall length provide reach into deeper stock sections without sacrificing rigidity.

Key Features

• 0.5 inch (1/2 inch) reamer diameter for standard bolt-hole sizing
• High-speed steel construction for durability in ferrous and structural steel materials
• Left-hand spiral, right-hand cut geometry reduces chatter and axial pull
• 5 flutes for smooth chip evacuation and improved surface finish
• 2MT Morse taper shank for secure seating in compatible spindles and holders
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed for use with drill presses, magnetic base drills, and taper-shank tool holders accepting a No. 2 Morse taper (2MT) shank.

Installation Notes

Bridge reamers are typically used by machinists, ironworkers, and structural fabricators. Power down and secure the workpiece fully before tool changes. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the base material to extend tool life and maintain bore quality. Inspect the Morse taper shank and spindle bore for debris or damage before seating to ensure proper alignment and prevent premature wear.
