M.a. Ford. 27225500A Chucking Reamer 0.255 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 27225500A is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed to finish-size drilled or bored holes to precise tolerances. Built with 6 straight flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, this reamer holds a diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches, making it suitable for applications where bore accuracy and surface finish are critical. The straight cylindrical shank allows direct chucking in standard machine tool holders. It is used in machining centers, drill presses, and lathes by machinists and tool-and-die tradespeople working in precision manufacturing and metalworking environments.

This reamer is suited for finishing operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where tight hole tolerances are required. The ALtima coating extends tool life by improving wear resistance in demanding cutting conditions. With a 0.255 inch diameter, 1-1/8 inch flute length, and 3-1/4 inch overall length, this tool fits standard short-hole reaming applications. It is part of the M.A. FORD. Series 272 and is listed as a modified standard item.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in precision reaming
• ALtima coating improves tool life in abrasive cutting conditions
• 6 straight flutes with right-hand cut for consistent chip evacuation
• Diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches ensures close-tolerance bore finishing
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard chucks and collets
• Series 272 modified standard designation for controlled geometry and repeatability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide chucking reamer for use in standard machine tool setups requiring a 0.255 inch finish bore diameter. Part of the M.A. FORD. Series 272 reamer family.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists in CNC machining centers, drill presses, or lathes using a standard chuck or collet matching the straight cylindrical shank diameter. Ensure the spindle is at a full stop before mounting or removing the reamer. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to maintain surface finish quality and extend tool life. This item is listed as non-returnable and non-cancelable - verify the diameter and application requirements before ordering.
