M.a. Ford 27218800A Chucking Reamer 0.1880 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 27218800A is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in machine tool applications. Built to Series 272 specifications, it produces a right-hand cut with a straight flute geometry and carries an ALtima coating for improved wear resistance and tool life. The reamer holds a tight diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches over nominal, making it suitable for close-tolerance bores where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are critical. Machinists and toolroom professionals use this reamer in CNC machining centers, lathes, and drill presses where consistent hole sizing is required. It weighs approximately 0.03 pounds.

This reamer is suited for production and toolroom environments requiring repeatable, accurate hole finishing in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in standard collet chucks, drill chucks, or floating reamer holders. With a 0.1880-inch cutting diameter and a 7/8-inch flute length, it is well matched to shallow-to-moderate depth holes in parts requiring tight positional and diameter tolerances. The ALtima coating extends tool life in abrasive materials. It is a modified standard item and is non-returnable and non-cancelable once ordered.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding materials
• ALtima coating improves surface hardness and reduces tool wear
• Diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches for close-tolerance hole finishing
• 4-flute straight geometry with right-hand cut and right-hand spiral direction
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard collet and drill chuck toolholders
• Series 272 modified standard design

Compatibility

Designed as a chucking reamer for use in CNC machining centers, manual lathes, and drill presses equipped with standard collet chucks or floating holders accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at the 0.1880-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Use a floating reamer holder where possible to compensate for minor spindle misalignment and avoid bell-mouthing the bore. This item is designated non-returnable and non-cancelable - confirm the correct diameter and tolerance class before ordering.
