M.a. Ford. 27217600 Chucking Reamer 0.1760 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 27217600 is a solid carbide chucking reamer engineered for precision hole finishing in metalworking and machining applications. With a reamer diameter of 0.1760 inches and a tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches, it delivers consistent, accurate bore sizing in a single pass. The 4-flute, right-hand cutting geometry with straight flutes provides smooth chip evacuation and stable cutting action. At 2.75 inches overall length with a 0.875-inch flute length and a straight-cylindrical shank, this reamer is sized for use in standard chucks and collet holders on drill presses, lathes, and CNC machining centers. It carries a bright, uncoated finish and is part of the Series 272 line.

This reamer is suited for precision reaming of small-diameter holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals where bore accuracy and surface finish are critical. It is a common choice in job shops, production machining environments, and maintenance repair operations where tight dimensional tolerances must be held. The straight-cylindrical shank allows straightforward setup in a wide range of toolholding systems without the need for special adapters.

Key Features

• Reamer diameter of 0.1760 inches with tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches for precision bore finishing
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding materials
• 4-flute, straight-flute design for stable cutting and efficient chip clearance
• Right-hand spiral and right-hand cutting direction for conventional machine operation
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials
• Straight-cylindrical shank for direct mounting in standard chucks and collet systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use chucking reamer for standard chuck and collet toolholding systems accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician familiar with reaming operations. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a matched chuck or collet before operation and verify runout before cutting. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the reamer. Do not use the reamer as a drill or apply lateral force, as solid carbide is brittle and susceptible to breakage under bending loads.
