M.a. Ford 27217150 Chucking Reamer 11/64 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 27217150 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed to produce precision-finished holes in metal workpieces. Built to Series 272 standards, it features a straight-cylindrical shank for secure chuck mounting and four straight flutes with right-hand cutting direction. The reamer diameter is 11/64 inches (0.1715 decimal inch) with a tight tolerance of plus 0.0001 to plus 0.0003 inches, making it suitable for applications where hole size and finish consistency are critical. The bright, uncoated carbide construction offers rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on this type of reamer for final-pass hole sizing in production and job shop environments.

This chucking reamer is intended for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, lathes, and manual mills where a chucked tool setup is standard. The 7/8 inch flute length and 2-3/4 inch overall length suit shallow-to-moderate depth holes in compact workpiece fixtures. The right-hand spiral direction and straight flute geometry are appropriate for through-holes and blind holes where chip evacuation is managed by the operator or coolant flow. No coolant-through capability is present, so external coolant or cutting fluid application is standard practice for this tool.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in metalworking applications
• Four straight flutes with right-hand cutting direction for consistent material removal
• Reamer diameter tolerance of plus 0.0001 to plus 0.0003 inches for close-tolerance hole finishing
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of workpiece materials
• Series 272 design for repeatable dimensional performance across production runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard chucking reamer for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, lathes, and manual milling machines equipped with a compatible straight-shank chuck or collet system accepting the straight-cylindrical shank profile.

Installation Notes

This reamer is installed by a machinist or toolroom professional into a drill chuck or collet holder rated for straight-cylindrical shanks. Always ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the workpiece is securely clamped before mounting or removing the tool. Apply appropriate cutting fluid to the flutes during operation to manage heat and chip evacuation, as this tool has no coolant-through capability. Inspect the reamer for chipping or wear before each use, as carbide tooling is brittle and sensitive to side-loading or improper feed rates.
