M.a. Ford 22405900A Jobber Drill 1.50mm Carbide Tin

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 22405900A is a 1.50 mm solid carbide jobber-length drill bit engineered for precision drilling in demanding industrial and machining applications. Built to DIN 338 specification, it features a 118-degree faceted point with web thinning for improved centering and reduced thrust on entry. The ALtima and Titanium Nitride (TiN) dual coating extends tool life and reduces friction in abrasive materials. With an overall length of 40.00 mm and a flute length of 18.00 mm, this right-hand, two-flute drill is suited for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual operations requiring tight dimensional accuracy. It is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

This drill bit is designed for general-purpose drilling in a range of primary workpiece materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and carbon steel. Its 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and regular spiral geometry support efficient chip evacuation in short-to-medium depth holes. The straight-cylindrical shank mates with standard collets, chucks, and drill holders common to precision machining environments. It is well-suited for production drilling at small diameters where carbide rigidity outperforms high-speed steel in maintaining hole geometry and surface finish.

Key Features

• 1.50 mm diameter solid carbide construction resists deflection and wear at small drill sizes
• 118-degree faceted point with web thinning improves self-centering and reduces entry burr
• ALtima and TiN dual coating increases surface hardness and reduces built-up edge in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Right-hand, two-flute regular spiral design promotes reliable chip evacuation
• DIN 338 specification ensures dimensional interchangeability with standard toolholding systems
• ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing process supports consistent quality across production runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use drill for standard straight-cylindrical collets and drill chucks accepting a 1.50 mm shank diameter, conforming to DIN 338 Series 224 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed by machinists in collet chucks or keyless drill chucks rated for the 1.50 mm shank diameter. Ensure the spindle and workpiece are fully secured before initiating the cut. Coolant-through capability is not supported on this model, so external coolant or cutting fluid application is recommended when drilling stainless steel or cast iron. Handle carbide tooling with care to avoid chipping the cutting edge during setup or storage.
