M.a. Ford. 27228120 Carbide Chucking Reamer 9/32 in

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 27228120 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in machining operations. With a 9/32 inch (0.2812 inch decimal) diameter and a tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches, this tool delivers accurate, repeatable bore sizing in a single pass. The 6-flute straight configuration and right-hand cutting direction produce a clean, smooth finish in through-holes and blind holes alike. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals reach for carbide reamers like this when working with abrasive materials or high-volume production runs where tool life matters.

This reamer is suited for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual milling setups where a straight shank fits the chuck or collet directly. The straight shank design simplifies tool holding without the need for a taper adapter. It is appropriate for finishing holes in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials in job shop, production, and maintenance-repair-overhaul environments. The 1-1/8 inch flute length accommodates typical workpiece depths for this diameter class.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision chucking reamer for use in any straight-shank tool holder, collet chuck, or drill chuck sized for the 9/32 inch shank diameter class.

Installation Notes

Chucking reamers should be installed by a qualified machinist following standard machine-shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing tooling. Secure the straight shank firmly in a collet or chuck to minimize runout, as excessive runout will degrade hole tolerance and accelerate tool wear. Always use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to maximize tool life and surface finish quality.
