M.a. Ford 27218800 Carbide Chucking Reamer 0.1880 in

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 27218800 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in machine shop and production environments. Built from solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance needed for tight-tolerance reaming in hard or abrasive materials. The reamer produces finished holes to a diameter of 0.1880 inches with a tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches, making it suitable for applications where bore accuracy and surface finish are critical. It features a straight shank for direct chuck mounting and four straight flutes with right-hand cutting direction. Overall length is 2.75 inches.

This chucking reamer is used in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual milling setups where a machine-held reamer is required. It is well suited for finishing through-holes and blind holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as plastics and composites. The uncoated solid carbide construction performs across a range of materials without the added cost of a coating, and the 4-flute straight configuration provides consistent chip evacuation at moderate feed rates.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for extended tool life in abrasive and hard materials
• 0.1880 inch reamer diameter with +0.0001/+0.0003 inch tolerance for precision bore finishing
• 4-flute straight flute geometry with right-hand cutting direction
• Straight shank for standard chuck mounting - no adapter required
• Overall length of 2.75 inches with a flute length of 0.875 inches
• Uncoated finish - suitable for use with cutting fluid in a wide range of materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style chucking reamer for use in standard drill chucks and collet holders accepting a straight shank in the 0.1880 inch diameter class.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists in CNC or manual machine tool setups. Secure the straight shank firmly in a drill chuck or collet holder before operation and verify runout with a dial indicator before cutting. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or inspecting tooling. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain bore finish quality.
