Guhring 9024640054000 Carbide Drill Bit 5.4 Mm

Product Description

The GUHRING 9024640054000 is a jobber-length drill bit engineered for precision drilling in aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. It is ground from K40-grade solid carbide and finished with a FIREX coating to extend tool life and reduce built-up edge. The bit features a 118-degree faceted point, web-thinned geometry for reduced thrust force, and a right-hand spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation. At 5.4 mm in diameter with a 3.66-inch overall length, it fits standard CNC machining centers and drill presses commonly used in production and job-shop environments. Machinists and tooling technicians are the primary installers and operators.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in aluminum and similar non-ferrous workpiece materials. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and regular spiral geometry make it effective in both through-hole and blind-hole applications at moderate feed and speed conditions. It is a single-piece solid carbide tool with a straight-cylindrical shank, making it compatible with standard collet chucks and drill chucks in that size range. The Series 2464 designation follows DIN specification standards widely used in industrial tooling.

Key Features

• K40-grade solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• FIREX coating reduces friction and extends tool life in non-ferrous materials
• 118-degree faceted drill point with web-thinned geometry lowers entry thrust
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for consistent chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collet and drill chuck systems
• DIN specification compliance for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit within the 5.00 mm to 6.00 mm diameter range, suitable for use with CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-held drilling equipment accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at this diameter. Primary workpiece material code N covers aluminum and non-ferrous materials per standard tooling classification.

Installation Notes

This bit should be installed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician following the machine manufacturer guidelines for collet torque and runout. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Confirm shank seating and chuck engagement before initiating a cut. Do not exceed the maximum drilling depth of 1.925 inches without retracting and clearing chips.
