M.a. Ford. 27215800 Chucking Reamer 0.158 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 27215800 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking and machining applications. With a reamer diameter of 0.158 inches and a diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches, this tool delivers tight, consistent bore sizing critical for close-fit assemblies and dowel applications. The 4-flute straight configuration with right-hand cut provides smooth material removal and accurate hole geometry. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 0.75-inch flute length, it fits standard drill press and CNC lathe setups. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on this type of reamer for final-pass bore finishing where dimensional accuracy is non-negotiable.

This chucking reamer is suited for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, lathes, and manual turret setups. The straight shank allows direct chucking in standard collets or drill chucks without adapters. It is appropriate for finishing pre-drilled or bored holes in steel, aluminum, cast iron, and similar machinable metals where the target bore falls in the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch diameter range. No coolant-through capability is present, so conventional flood or mist coolant delivery at the cutting zone is recommended during use.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for hardness, wear resistance, and dimensional stability
• 0.158 inches reamer diameter with +0.0001/+0.0003 inch tolerance for precise bore sizing
• 4-flute straight configuration with right-hand cut for smooth, controlled material removal
• Straight shank for direct chucking in standard collets and drill chucks
• Uncoated finish for compatibility with a wide range of cutting fluids and workpiece materials
• 2.5 inches overall length with 0.75 inches of flute length for short-reach applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and lathes where a 0.158 inch diameter finished bore is required. Part of the M.A. FORD. Series 272 chucking reamer line.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers should be installed by qualified machinists familiar with cutting tool setup and speeds-and-feeds selection. Secure the straight shank firmly in a collet or drill chuck before operation and verify runout with a dial indicator when tolerance-critical bores are required. Always pre-drill or bore the hole to within the recommended stock-removal allowance before reaming. Use appropriate cutting fluid at the cutting zone to extend tool life and maintain surface finish quality.
