M.a. Ford 27206000 Chucking Reamer 0.0600 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 27206000 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in tight-tolerance applications. With a 0.0600 inch diameter and a reamer diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches, this tool delivers accurate, repeatable bore sizing in hard and abrasive materials. The 4-flute straight configuration with right-hand cutting direction provides smooth chip evacuation and consistent surface finish. At 1-1/2 inches overall length with a 3/8 inch flute length, this compact reamer is suited for shallow-bore finishing operations performed by machinists and toolroom technicians in precision manufacturing environments.

The 27206000 is intended for use in small-diameter bore finishing where dimensional accuracy is critical. Its bright, uncoated solid carbide construction makes it well suited for dry or light-fluid cutting in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight-cylindrical shank allows direct chucking in standard drill press chucks, CNC machining centers, or manual milling setups. This Series 272 reamer fits applications requiring a diameter in the 0.0500 to 0.0999 inch range, making it a common selection for instrument, aerospace, and precision mechanical component work.

Key Features

• 0.0600 inch cutting diameter with +0.0001 to +0.0003 inch tolerance for precision bore sizing
• Solid carbide construction for hardness, wear resistance, and dimensional stability
• 4-flute straight geometry with right-hand cutting direction for smooth, consistent finish
• Bright, uncoated finish — suitable for use without specialized coatings in standard applications
• Straight-cylindrical shank for direct chucking compatibility with standard toolholders
• Compact 1-1/2 inch OAL with 3/8 inch flute length designed for shallow precision bores

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision reamer for small-diameter bore finishing applications requiring a straight-cylindrical shank toolholder. Part of M.A. FORD Series 272, covering the 0.0500 to 0.0999 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

This reamer is installed by machinists or toolroom technicians in a drill press, milling machine, or CNC machining center using a standard chuck or collet compatible with a straight-cylindrical shank. Always ensure the spindle and workpiece are secure before operation and confirm the pre-drilled pilot hole is within the recommended undersize tolerance for the cutting diameter. Solid carbide tooling is brittle — avoid side-loading or interrupted cuts that can cause chipping. Power down and lock out the machine before changing or inspecting the tool.
