M.a. Ford. 27218050 Chucking Reamer 0.1805 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 27218050 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking applications. With a reamer diameter of 0.1805 inches and a tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches, this tool delivers accurate, repeatable bore sizing. The straight flute geometry and right-hand cutting direction make it well suited for through-hole and short blind-hole reaming operations. Overall length is 2.75 inches with a flute length of 0.875 inches. This reamer is installed in a standard chuck or collet setup and is typically used by machinists and toolroom professionals working on precision components.

This chucking reamer is intended for use in drilling and boring operations where close hole tolerances are required. It fits into machine tool spindles via its straight cylindrical shank and is compatible with standard chuck systems. The solid carbide construction makes it appropriate for harder workpiece materials and high-speed machining environments. It is part of the Series 272 lineup and falls within the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch reamer diameter range, making it a practical choice for small-diameter precision reaming tasks in production and job shop settings.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in precision reaming
• Diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches for tight, repeatable hole sizing
• Straight flute design with right-hand cut suitable for standard through-hole applications
• Straight cylindrical shank for direct chuck or collet mounting
• Uncoated finish - no additional coating buildup affecting dimensional accuracy
• 4-flute configuration for balanced cutting and smooth bore finish

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit chucking reamer for use in standard drill press, lathe, or CNC machining center setups accepting a straight cylindrical shank. Part of the M.A. FORD. Series 272 reamer line covering the 0.1500 to 0.1999 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

This reamer is installed by a machinist or toolroom technician into a compatible chuck or precision collet on a drill press, lathe, or machining center. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the workpiece is securely fixtured before tool changes. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain bore quality. Inspect the shank and cutting edges for damage before each use.
