Guhring 9024640054100 Jobber Drill Bit Size 3 Carbide

Product Description

The GUHRING 9024640054100 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit designed for precision drilling in non-ferrous materials, particularly aluminum. Manufactured to DIN specification in Series 2464, this bit carries a FIREX coating for enhanced surface hardness and wear resistance. It features a 118-degree faceted point angle with web thinning for improved centering and reduced thrust. At 3.66 inches overall length with a 2.24-inch flute length, it fits standard jobber-length toolholders. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 5.41 mm in diameter, making it compatible with conventional drill chucks. Intended for use by machinists and maintenance technicians requiring tight-tolerance hole production in general-purpose applications.

This drill bit is suited for drilling aluminum and other non-ferrous materials in light manufacturing, maintenance, and general machining environments. Its 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and right-hand spiral flute geometry support efficient chip evacuation in short-to-medium depth holes. With a maximum drilling depth of 1.925 inches, it is appropriate for through-hole and blind-hole work in sheet stock, plate, and structural profiles. No coolant-through capability is present, so conventional flood or mist cooling methods apply at the spindle or fixture level.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction at material grade K40 for rigidity and edge retention
• FIREX coating provides thermal and wear resistance in non-ferrous cutting
• 118-degree faceted point with web thinning reduces walking and entry thrust
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flute for positive chip clearance
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• DIN specification Series 2464 for consistent dimensional compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber length drill bit for use in machining centers, drill presses, and hand-held drilling equipment accepting a straight-cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece material designation is N, corresponding to non-ferrous metals including aluminum alloys.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with rotating cutting tool safety. Secure the shank fully within the chuck jaws and verify runout before drilling. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing or inspecting the bit. Do not exceed the recommended maximum drilling depth of 1.925 inches in a single pass without retracting to clear chips.
