M.a. Ford. 22608660 Drill Bit 0.0866 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 22608660 is a screw machine length (stub length) drill bit designed for precision drilling in tight-clearance setups and machine tool applications. Built from solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance needed for consistent hole quality in hard and abrasive materials. The bit features a 118-degree point angle, a standard spiral flute, and a straight-cylindrical shank measuring 0.0866 inches in diameter. With an overall length of 1.5748 inches and a flute-to-diameter ratio of 3xD, this bit is optimized for short, rigid setups where deflection control matters. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one.

This drill bit is suited for production machining, CNC drilling centers, screw machines, and manual drill press operations where a compact tool length reduces runout and chatter. Primary workpiece materials include cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. The bright/uncoated finish makes it straightforward to inspect for wear and well-suited for applications where coating buildup or reaction with cutting fluids is a concern. It carries a DIN specification designation, making it compatible with metric-dimensioned toolholding systems common in modern machine shops.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high rigidity and extended tool life in hard materials
• 118-degree point angle for general-purpose drilling across a wide range of workpiece materials
• Bright/uncoated finish for easy wear inspection and broad cutting-fluid compatibility
• Screw machine (stub) length reduces deflection and improves positional accuracy
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• DIN specification designation for compatibility with metric toolholding systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling option for straight-shank drill chucks and collet systems accepting a 0.0866-inch diameter shank, consistent with Series 226 tooling standards.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician familiar with carbide tooling handling practices. Solid carbide bits are brittle and should never be dropped or subjected to lateral impact. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank fully within the chuck or collet to the recommended engagement depth before operation. Ensure the spindle, chuck, and workpiece are properly secured and the machine is at a full stop before changing or inspecting the bit.
