M.a. Ford 22407870 Carbide Jobber Drill 0.0787 in

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 22407870 is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit designed for precision hole-making in demanding materials. It features a 0.0787-inch diameter, a 118-degree faceted point, and a bright/uncoated finish. The two-flute spiral design with a tapered, web-thinned web reduces cutting resistance and helps center the bit at entry. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.0787 inches in diameter and seats securely in standard drill chucks and collets. Built to DIN 338 standards and manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certification, this bit delivers consistent dimensional accuracy with a diameter tolerance of -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches. It is suited for machinists, toolmakers, and fabricators working in production or job-shop environments.

This drill bit is rated for general-purpose drilling in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. Its overall length of 49.00 mm (approximately 1.93 inches) and flute length of 24.00 mm place it in the standard jobber category, making it a practical choice for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-held power tools where a short, stiff bit is preferred. The regular spiral type and 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio support chip evacuation across this range of workpiece materials without requiring through-spindle coolant.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 118-degree faceted point with web thinning for reduced thrust and improved self-centering
• DIN 338 specification with ISO 9001:2015 certification for dimensional consistency
• Diameter tolerance of -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches ensures close-tolerance hole quality
• Bright/uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and materials
• Right-hand cutting, regular spiral, straight-cylindrical shank fits standard chucks and collets

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill for use in standard drill chucks and collets accepting a 0.0787-inch (2.00 mm) straight-cylindrical shank. Rated for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel per the manufacturer workpiece material designations K, M, N, and P.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist or toolmaker into a drill press, milling machine, or CNC spindle using a compatible chuck or collet sized for a 2.00 mm straight shank. Secure the shank fully before operation and verify runout is within acceptable limits for the application. Carbide is brittle - avoid side-loading or using the bit as a pry. Cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material is recommended even though this bit does not support coolant-through delivery.
