M.a. Ford 22405310 Carbide Jobber Drill Bit 0.0531 in

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 22405310 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit designed for precision hole-making in demanding materials across industrial and trade applications. It carries a 0.0531-inch diameter with a 118-degree faceted point angle and a bright, uncoated finish. The two-flute, right-hand spiral configuration delivers clean chip evacuation and consistent cutting performance. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces entry force and supports accurate hole positioning. This bit is suited for machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and skilled tradespeople who require reliable small-diameter drilling on production or repair work.

The 22405310 is built for general-purpose drilling in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. Its compact overall length of approximately 1.575 inches (40 mm) and straight-cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks and CNC toolholders. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports adequate chip clearance in jobber-length applications. This bit conforms to DIN 338 dimensional standards and is manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified processes.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 118-degree faceted point angle with web thinning for reduced thrust and accurate entry
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute with 5xD ratio for effective chip evacuation
• Bright, uncoated finish suited for general-purpose applications without coating overhead
• Straight-cylindrical shank at 0.0531 inches (1.35 mm) for standard chuck compatibility
• Conforms to DIN 338 specification with ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber length drill bit per DIN 338 specifications, compatible with standard drill chucks and CNC toolholders accepting a 0.0531-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, and steel workpieces (material codes K, M, N, P).

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with small-diameter carbide tooling. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a compatible chuck or collet before operation, and verify runout is within acceptable tolerance to prevent bit breakage at this diameter. Carbide tooling is brittle - avoid lateral loading or intermittent contact that can cause chipping or fracture. Coolant-through is not supported on this bit; apply cutting fluid externally where required by the workpiece material.
