Walter-titex 5071601 Hand Reamer 5mm Hss Helical Flute

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5071601 is a hand reamer designed for precision finishing and sizing of drilled holes to tight tolerances. Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this reamer delivers consistent cutting performance across a range of metalworking and machining applications. The helical flute geometry promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces chatter during manual reaming operations. At 5 mm in diameter with a 44 mm flute length and an 87 mm overall length, it is sized for work in confined areas or on small-diameter bores. Machinists and toolroom technicians rely on hand reamers like this one to achieve the precise fit and surface finish that drilling alone cannot provide.

This reamer is suited for bench work, assembly, and field fitting operations where a machine reamer is impractical or unavailable. The straight shank accepts standard reamer tap wrenches for controlled manual rotation. Right-hand cut geometry is standard for conventional clockwise operation. Typical applications include sizing holes in mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials where final bore diameter must meet close tolerance requirements.

Key Features

• 5 mm reamer diameter for small-bore precision finishing
• Helical flute design promotes smooth chip flow and reduces cutting chatter
• High speed steel construction for durability across general metalworking materials
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids
• Right-hand cut with straight shank for use in standard tap wrenches
• 44 mm flute length and 87 mm overall length for compact access

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hand reamer for use in general metalworking, toolroom, and maintenance applications requiring precision hole finishing to 5 mm diameter.

Installation Notes

Hand reamers are installed and operated by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench. Always apply a suitable cutting fluid to the flutes before beginning the reaming pass to extend tool life and improve bore finish. Rotate only in the cutting direction and never reverse rotation, as reversing dulls the cutting edges. Secure the workpiece firmly before operation to prevent movement that can cause out-of-round bores.
