M.a. Ford 27209650 Chucking Reamer 2.45mm Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 27209650 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in machine shop and production environments. Part of the Series 272 line, it features a 2.45mm (0.0965 inch) reamer diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.004 to +0.008mm, making it suitable for applications where bore accuracy and surface finish are critical. The straight flute geometry and right-hand cutting direction support clean, controlled material removal. With a straight-cylindrical shank, the reamer seats securely in standard drill chucks and collet holders. This tool is installed and operated by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and precision manufacturing technicians.

This reamer is intended for use in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and drill presses where final hole sizing to close tolerances is required. The 12.50mm flute length accommodates shallow-to-moderate depth reaming passes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright, uncoated finish makes it well suited for use in a dry or light-lubrication cutting environment. It is appropriate for small-diameter bore finishing operations in precision component manufacturing, toolroom work, and prototype machining.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in precision reaming
• 2.45mm reamer diameter with tolerance of +0.004 to +0.008mm for accurate bore sizing
• 4 straight flutes with right-hand cutting direction for smooth chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard chucks and collets
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for dry or light-lubrication cutting conditions
• Series 272 - compact overall length of 51mm for use in tight clearance setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision reamer for use in standard drill chucks and collet holders accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 2.00 to 3.00mm diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with rotating cutting tool safety. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before loading or removing the reamer from the chuck or collet. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank with adequate clamping force to prevent slippage during the cut. Follow the tooling manufacturer and machine tool guidelines for feed rate and spindle speed when reaming at this diameter range.
