Guhring 9024640018500 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 49 Carbide

Product Description

The GUHRING 9024640018500 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit designed for precision drilling in non-ferrous and aluminum workpiece materials. Built to DIN specification in the Series 2464, this bit features a FIREX coating for improved wear resistance and tool life. It carries a wire gauge size of 49, corresponding to 0.0730 inches in decimal. The 118-degree faceted drill point and web-thinned tip reduce thrust requirements and improve centering. With a regular spiral flute and right-hand cutting direction, this bit suits high-speed, accurate hole-making in production and maintenance environments. Licensed tradespeople and machinists rely on this format for close-tolerance work in light metals.

This drill bit is rated for use in aluminum and non-ferrous materials, classified under primary workpiece material code N. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports chip evacuation in deeper passes. With an overall length of 1.81 inches (46.00 mm) and a flute length of 0.87 inches (22.00 mm), this bit fits standard drill chucks and CNC spindle setups. It does not include coolant-through capability, making it suitable for conventional drilling setups without internal coolant. Machining professionals, tool-and-die techs, and maintenance mechanics are the typical installers for bits in this size class.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction, material grade K40, for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous drilling
• FIREX coating reduces friction and extends tool life in aluminum and light alloy applications
• 118-degree faceted point with web thinning for reduced thrust and improved self-centering
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute with 2 flutes for consistent chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank (1.85 mm diameter) fits standard collets and drill chucks without adapters
• DIN-specification Series 2464 build ensures dimensional consistency and interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide jobber drill for use in standard drill chucks, collet holders, and CNC tooling that accept a 1.85 mm straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for drilling aluminum and non-ferrous materials in general-purpose production and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Machinist or tooling technician installation is typical for bits in this diameter class. Secure the shank fully in the collet or chuck before operation and verify runout is within acceptable tolerance for the application. Carbide bits are brittle compared to high-speed steel — avoid side loading, interrupted cuts, or hard-jaw impact that can cause chipping. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machinery guarding requirements during setup and operation.
