M.a. Ford. 27215400 Chucking Reamer 0.154 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 27215400 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed to finish-ream precision holes to a wire gauge No. 23 diameter of 0.1540 inches. Built on the Series 272 platform, it features a straight flute geometry with a right-hand cutting direction and an uncoated carbide body that holds tight diameter tolerances of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 0.75-inch flute length and a straight shank, this tool is sized for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual lathes where consistent hole sizing and surface finish are required. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals select carbide reamers like this one when working with abrasive or hard materials that would wear high-speed steel prematurely.

This reamer is suited for light-production and toolroom applications requiring accurate small-diameter hole finishing. The 0.75-inch flute length accommodates shallow through-holes and blind holes in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The straight shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders. Four flutes provide stable cutting action and a consistent finish at the small diameter. No coolant-through feature is present, so flood or mist coolant is applied externally during operation when needed.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for extended tool life in abrasive and hard materials
• Wire gauge No. 23 diameter — 0.1540 inches — with tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches
• Straight flute, right-hand cut geometry for clean, stable reaming action
• Four flutes deliver consistent hole finish at this small diameter range
• Straight shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems
• Uncoated carbide — suitable for use with cutting fluids on a wide range of workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision reamer for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, manual lathes, and mill-drill setups equipped with standard straight-shank collet or chuck tooling in the appropriate size range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom professionals familiar with reaming operations. Ensure the spindle and workpiece are fully secured before operation, and confirm the shank seats fully and concentrically in the collet or chuck to avoid runout. Power down the machine completely before changing or inspecting the tool. Carbide is brittle — avoid dropping the reamer or using it to remove chips manually.
