M.a. Ford. 27231300 Solid Carbide Chucking Reamer 0.313 in

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 27231300 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed to finish-ream precision holes to tight tolerances in a machine tool setup. With a reamer diameter of 0.313 inches and a diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0003 inches, this tool holds the close dimensional control required in production and job-shop environments. Six straight flutes with a right-hand cutting direction provide smooth, consistent material removal. The 3.25-inch overall length and 1.125-inch flute length suit typical through-hole and shallow blind-hole applications. Machinists and toolroom technicians use this reamer in drill presses, milling machines, CNC machining centers, and lathes wherever a straight shank is compatible.

This reamer is suited for metalworking applications requiring precise hole finishing in production machining, toolroom work, and maintenance repair operations. The uncoated solid carbide construction performs well in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where dimensional accuracy is critical. It is a stock replacement within the M.A. FORD. Series 272 line. The straight shank accepts standard drill chucks and collet holders, making it easy to deploy across common spindle setups without specialized tooling adapters.

Key Features

• Six straight flutes with right-hand cutting direction for smooth, consistent reaming action
• Straight shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids in a range of workpiece materials
• Part of the M.A. FORD. Series 272 chucking reamer line

Compatibility

Designed as a Series 272 solid carbide chucking reamer for use in machine tool spindles accepting a straight shank. Compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems sized for a 0.313-inch shank diameter. No specific model compatibility data was provided beyond Series 272 designation.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by machinists in a machine tool environment. Secure the straight shank firmly in a drill chuck or collet holder before use, and confirm the workpiece is clamped rigidly to prevent deflection. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole-finish quality. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping before each use, as solid carbide tools can fracture if run in worn or improperly secured conditions.
