Walter-titex 5072340 Chucking Reamer 2.98mm 6 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5072340 is a chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking applications. Built from cobalt steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it holds a reamer diameter of 2.98mm (0.1173 decimal inch) with a tolerance of +0.004mm, making it suited for close-tolerance bore work. The spiral flute geometry with left-hand spiral direction and right-hand cutting direction helps clear chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations. At 61.00mm overall length with a 15.00mm flute length and straight-cylindrical shank, this tool mounts directly in standard chucks or collets. It is typically installed and operated by machinists and tool-room technicians on drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual lathes.

This reamer is intended for finishing pre-drilled holes to tight dimensional tolerances in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The cobalt steel construction provides added heat and wear resistance compared to standard high-speed steel, making it a reliable choice in applications involving harder work materials or higher cutting speeds. The straight-cylindrical shank ensures consistent runout when held in a precision collet or drill chuck. Package quantity is one piece per unit.

Key Features

• Reamer diameter: 2.98mm (0.1173 decimal inch) with +0.004mm tolerance for precise bore sizing
• Cobalt steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard HSS
• Left-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation during right-hand cutting
• 6-flute design for improved surface finish and dimensional accuracy in the finished bore
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids
• Straight-cylindrical shank for direct mounting in chucks or collets without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision chucking reamer for use in standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting straight-cylindrical shanks in the 2.98mm diameter class.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by qualified machinists following standard machine shop practices. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the reamer from the chuck or collet. Verify runout at the shank before use to avoid oversize bores or tool breakage. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the work material and observe manufacturer feed and speed recommendations for cobalt steel reamers.
