M.a. Ford 27224850 Chucking Reamer 0.2485 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 27224850 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in metalworking and machining applications. With a reamer diameter of 0.2485 inches and a diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches, this tool delivers tight, consistent bore sizing where accuracy is critical. It features a straight-cylindrical shank for secure chuck holding, a 4-flute straight flute geometry with right-hand cutting direction, and an uncoated bright finish. Overall length is 3 inches with a 1-inch flute length. It is part of M.A. FORD Series 272 and is suited for machinists and toolroom professionals who require repeatable, close-tolerance hole finishing.

This chucking reamer is used in machine shop and production environments where final bore diameter must meet tight dimensional tolerances. Typical applications include finishing drilled or bored holes in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar machinable metals. The straight-flute, right-hand configuration makes it well suited for through-holes and short blind holes in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual lathes. It is intended for professional machinists and tool-and-die technicians performing precision reaming operations.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in precision reaming
• 0.2485 inch reamer diameter with +0.0001 to +0.0003 inch tolerance for close-tolerance bore finishing
• 4-flute straight geometry with right-hand cutting direction for smooth material removal
• Straight-cylindrical shank for direct chuck mounting without adapters
• Uncoated bright finish suitable for general-purpose reaming across common machinable metals
• Compact 3 inch OAL with 1 inch flute length for use in confined setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide chucking reamer for use in standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a straight-cylindrical shank of the corresponding diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this reamer should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with cutting tool handling and machine operation. Ensure the machine spindle and chuck are fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the tool. Verify chuck or collet runout is within acceptable limits before reaming to avoid oversized or out-of-round bores. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain dimensional accuracy.
