M.a. Ford 27215200 Chucking Reamer Wire Size 24 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 27215200 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed to finish-ream holes to a precise 0.1520-inch diameter, corresponding to wire gauge size 24. Built from solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for accurate, repeatable hole sizing in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight flute geometry and right-hand cutting direction make it well-suited for through-hole and shallow blind-hole applications. With a tolerance of plus 0.0001 to plus 0.0003 inches, this reamer holds tight dimensional control without secondary operations. It is installed by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians working on precision components.

This reamer is intended for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual lathes where a straight shank tool can be held in a drill chuck or collet. The 2.5-inch overall length and 0.75-inch flute length position it for short-reach finish-reaming tasks in production and repair environments. It is appropriate for light-material removal passes following a pre-drilled or bored hole, where the goal is achieving consistent bore diameter and surface finish.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides superior hardness and wear resistance compared to high-speed steel
• Wire size 24 diameter (0.1520 inch) with tight tolerance of plus 0.0001 to plus 0.0003 inches
• 4-flute straight configuration for smooth cutting action and chip evacuation in short-flute applications
• Right-hand cut, right-hand spiral direction suitable for standard machine spindle rotation
• Straight shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Uncoated finish for use across a broad range of base materials without coating compatibility concerns

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide chucking reamer for machine tools accepting straight shank tooling in the 0.1520-inch diameter range. Part of M.A. FORD Series 272.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers should be installed by a qualified machinist following standard toolholding procedures for straight shank tooling. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the chuck or collet. Always pre-drill or bore the hole to within a few thousandths of final diameter before reaming to avoid overloading the cutting edges. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish.
