M.a. Ford. 22607080 Carbide Drill Bit 0.0708 Inch 118

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 22607080 is a screw machine length (short series) drill bit designed for precision drilling in demanding industrial and metalworking applications. Built from solid carbide, this bit delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required when drilling cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, and general steel. The bright/uncoated finish is suited for applications where coating is not required or where cutting fluid is used directly on the tool. At 0.0708 inches (1.80 mm) in diameter with a 118-degree drill point angle and a regular spiral flute, it produces accurate entry points with controlled chip evacuation in short-hole drilling operations.

This drill bit is intended for use in screw machine setups, CNC machining centers, drill presses, and benchtop production operations where short-series tooling is preferred for rigidity. The straight-cylindrical shank allows direct chuck mounting without adapters. Metalworking shops, tool and die operations, and precision machining facilities are the primary users. The Series 226 designation identifies this as part of M.A. FORD.'s small-diameter carbide drill lineup, conforming to DIN specification standards for geometry and tolerances.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for maximum rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials
• 118-degree drill point angle for general-purpose drilling across cast iron, steel, and non-ferrous metals
• Bright/uncoated finish compatible with direct cutting fluid application
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flute for consistent chip removal in short-hole applications
• Straight-cylindrical shank for direct chuck mounting without additional toolholders
• DIN specification geometry ensures dimensional consistency and interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed as a short-series solid carbide drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a 0.0708 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, and steel workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians familiar with rotating cutting tools. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before loading or unloading the bit. Inspect the cutting edges and shank for damage before each use, as solid carbide is brittle and susceptible to chipping if mishandled or dropped. Use appropriate speeds and feeds for the workpiece material per tooling manufacturer recommendations, and apply cutting fluid where applicable to extend tool life.
