M.a. Ford. 27237400 Chucking Reamer 0.374 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 27237400 is a solid carbide chucking reamer designed for precision hole finishing in machine shop and production environments. With a reamer diameter of 0.374 inches and a straight flute geometry, this tool delivers consistent sizing and surface finish in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight shank seats directly in standard drill chucks or collets, and the 6-flute configuration distributes cutting load evenly for stable, accurate results. Overall length is 3.5 inches with a flute length of 1.25 inches. This reamer is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on CNC machines, knee mills, and manual drill presses.

This chucking reamer is suited for through-hole and blind-hole reaming operations in production and maintenance machining applications. It is appropriate for residential machine shops, industrial manufacturing cells, and MRO environments where close-tolerance hole sizing is required. The right-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with standard spindle rotation. No coolant-through capability is present, so external coolant or cutting fluid application is standard practice with this tool.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for extended tool life and wear resistance in abrasive materials
• 0.374 inch diameter with a tolerance of +0.006/+0.012 mm for precise hole finishing
• 6-flute straight design provides even cutting load distribution and smooth bore finish
• Straight shank for direct mounting in drill chucks or collets without adapters
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral direction compatible with standard machine spindle rotation
• Uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids across a range of workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style chucking reamer for use in standard drill chucks and collet-style toolholders on CNC machining centers, knee mills, and drill presses requiring a 0.374 inch finished bore diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists following applicable shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before mounting or removing the reamer from the toolholder. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck or collet to the appropriate clamping specification for the toolholder in use. Apply cutting fluid externally during operation, as this tool does not have coolant-through capability.
