M.a. Ford 27206050 Chucking Reamer 0.0605 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 27206050 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in tight-tolerance machining applications. With a reamer diameter of 0.0605 inches and a diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches, this tool holds accurate sizing in production and repair work. The 4-flute, straight-flute geometry with right-hand cutting direction provides clean, consistent finishes in through and blind holes. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in standard drill chucks or collet holders, making it a straightforward drop-in for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual lathes. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this reamer where hole location and surface finish must meet close engineering tolerances.

This reamer is suited for small-diameter reaming operations in both production and job-shop environments. The 0.0605-inch diameter places it in the micro-to-small bore range, commonly used when finishing pilot holes, pin bores, and precision clearance holes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright, uncoated carbide surface is appropriate for dry cutting or light cutting-fluid applications. The 3/8-inch flute length accommodates shallow-depth bores typical of this diameter class, while the 1-1/2-inch overall length keeps tool overhang manageable in close-quarter setups. This is a Series 272 tool from M.A. FORD.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in precision reaming
• Diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches for close-tolerance hole finishing
• 4-flute, straight-flute design with right-hand cutting direction
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for a range of workpiece materials
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Compact 1-1/2-inch overall length minimizes overhang in tight setups

Compatibility

Designed as a Series 272 OEM-style chucking reamer for use in standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at this diameter class.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with reaming procedures and applicable shop safety standards. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the reamer from the chuck or collet. Ensure the shank is clean and fully seated before tightening to prevent runout. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material when conditions allow, and verify correct pre-drill sizing before reaming to avoid overloading the flutes.
