M.a. Ford 27205901 Chucking Reamer 0.0590 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 27205901 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in tight-tolerance machining applications. With a reamer diameter of 0.0590 inches and a diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches, this tool delivers consistent, accurate bore sizing in production and job-shop environments. The four-flute, right-hand straight flute geometry provides smooth cutting action and reliable chip evacuation. The overall length is 1.5 inches with a 3/8-inch flute length, making it well suited for shallow, small-diameter reaming operations. It is installed via a straight-cylindrical shank and is typically used in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual milling machines by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

This reamer is intended for small-diameter hole finishing where bore accuracy is critical, such as in precision instrument components, hydraulic fittings, and close-tolerance assemblies. The bright, uncoated solid carbide construction performs well in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where minimal built-up edge and long tool life are priorities. The straight-cylindrical shank provides straightforward setup in standard collet chucks or drill chucks without requiring special toolholders. The 0.0590-inch diameter falls within the Series 272 range, covering decimal-inch reamer diameters from 0.0500 to 0.0999 inches.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in precision reaming
• Four right-hand straight flutes for smooth cutting and efficient chip clearance
• Diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches for tight hole sizing control
• Bright, uncoated finish suited for a wide range of work materials
• Straight-cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard collet and drill chucks
• Series 272 designation covering small decimal-inch diameter range

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide chucking reamer for use in standard collet chucks, drill chucks, and precision toolholding systems that accept straight-cylindrical shanks in small-diameter configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this reamer should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with small-diameter cutting tools. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a collet chuck or drill chuck before operation, and verify runout is within acceptable limits to protect the carbide cutting edges. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle before tool changes. Avoid side loading or interrupted cuts, as solid carbide tools at this diameter are brittle and susceptible to fracture under lateral stress.
