M.a. Ford 27208070A Chucking Reamer 2.05mm Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 27208070A is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking and machining applications. Built to Series 272 specifications, this reamer features a 2.05mm (0.0807 inch) cutting diameter with a diameter tolerance of +0.004 to +0.008 mm, making it suited for tight-tolerance bore work. It carries an ALtima coating for improved wear resistance and extended tool life in demanding materials. The straight-cylindrical shank seats cleanly in standard collet chucks or drill press spindles. With 4 straight flutes and right-hand cutting direction, the tool delivers consistent chip evacuation and a smooth finished bore. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians are the primary installers of this tool.

This reamer is used in precision machining environments where a 2.05mm finished hole diameter is required. Typical applications include fixture boring, dowel hole finishing, and close-tolerance component work in job shops, tool rooms, and production machining cells. It is classified as a modified standard item under M.A. FORD Series 272, appropriate for operations requiring a controlled oversize finish within the stated tolerance band. The 12.50mm flute length and 44.00mm overall length suit shallow-to-moderate depth holes in small workpieces or thin-section components.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard or abrasive materials
• ALtima coating provides enhanced surface hardness and heat resistance at the cutting edge
• 2.05mm diameter with +0.004 to +0.008 mm tolerance for controlled oversize finishing
• 4 straight flutes, right-hand cut and right-hand spiral for predictable chip flow
• Straight-cylindrical shank for direct collet or chuck mounting without adapters
• 12.50mm flute length suited for shallow precision bores in small components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision reamer for use in standard collet chucks, drill presses, and CNC machining centers capable of accepting a straight-cylindrical shank tool in the 2.05mm diameter range.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists and CNC operators as part of a multi-step hole finishing process — drilling to undersize before reaming to final diameter is standard practice. Ensure the spindle and workpiece are securely fixtured before starting the cut to prevent runout that would compromise bore tolerance. This item is designated as a modified standard product and is non-returnable and non-cancelable once ordered. Coolant-through is not supported on this tool; apply cutting fluid externally as required by the workpiece material.
