M.a. Ford. 27220350 Chucking Reamer 13/64 in Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 27220350 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking and machining applications. It carries a nominal diameter of 13/64 inches (0.2035 inches decimal) with a tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches, making it well-suited for applications that demand close-tolerance bores. The reamer features four straight flutes with a right-hand cutting direction, a bright uncoated finish, and a straight-cylindrical shank for direct chucking in drill presses, lathes, or CNC machining centers. Overall length is 3 inches with a 1-inch flute length. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this tool.

This reamer is used in production and toolroom environments where finish-reaming of through or blind holes to close tolerances is required. It is appropriate for ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a solid carbide tool provides the necessary hardness and wear resistance. The straight flute geometry makes it a reliable choice for reaming short holes and materials that produce short, chippy swarf. It is part of the M.A. FORD. Series 272 and is packaged individually.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for superior wear resistance and rigidity compared to high-speed steel
• Diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches for close-tolerance hole finishing
• Four straight flutes with right-hand cutting direction for smooth, consistent stock removal
• Bright uncoated finish - suitable for a wide range of base materials without coating-compatibility concerns
• Straight-cylindrical shank for direct chuck or collet holding in standard spindles
• No coolant-through requirement - compatible with flood or mist external coolant delivery

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide chucking reamer for use in drill presses, manual lathes, and CNC machining centers accepting a straight-cylindrical shank tool. Part of the M.A. FORD. Series 272 reamer family.

Installation Notes

This reamer should be installed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder or collet is clean and free of debris before chucking the reamer. Solid carbide tooling is brittle - avoid side loads, interrupted cuts, or excessive runout in the holder, as these conditions can cause tool fracture. Follow applicable shop safety practices and machine manufacturer guidelines for speed and feed selection when finish-reaming.
