M.a. Ford 27206101 Chucking Reamer 0.0610 in Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 27206101 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in tight-tolerance machining applications. With a reamer diameter of 0.0610 inches and a diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches, this tool delivers consistent, accurate bore sizing in a single pass. The straight flute geometry and right-hand cutting direction make it suited for use in materials where flute type matters for chip evacuation and surface finish. At 1.5 inches overall length with a 0.375-inch flute length, it is built for compact, controlled reaming operations. Machinists and toolroom professionals working with precision assemblies, dowel holes, and close-fit bores will find this reamer a reliable choice for production and repair work.

This chucking reamer fits standard drill press, CNC, and lathe chuck setups using a straight-cylindrical shank. It is intended for reaming holes in the 0.0500 to 0.0999 inch diameter range, specifically sized at 0.0610 inches. The Series 272 designation places it within M.A. FORD's line of solid carbide reamers for small-diameter work. Typical applications include precision instrument manufacturing, aerospace component finishing, and any machining environment where hole tolerances must be held to within a few ten-thousandths of an inch.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding materials
• 0.0610 inch reamer diameter with +0.0001 to +0.0003 inch tolerance for precision bore finishing
• 4 straight flutes with right-hand cutting direction for smooth, controlled material removal
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use without additional surface treatment
• Straight-cylindrical shank for direct mounting in standard drill chucks and collets
• Compact 1.5 inch overall length with 0.375 inch flute length for confined reaming operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision chucking reamer for use in standard drill press, CNC machining center, and lathe chuck setups accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the sub-0.10 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this chucking reamer should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with small-diameter precision tooling. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a matching collet or drill chuck before operation, and verify runout is within acceptable limits prior to cutting. Always reduce spindle speed and use appropriate cutting fluid when reaming to extend tool life and protect bore finish. Do not force the reamer through the workpiece; feed rate should be controlled to avoid tool deflection or breakage at this diameter.
