M.a. Ford. 22909840 Solid Carbide Jobber Drill Bit 2.5mm

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 22909840 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit designed for precision drilling in non-ferrous metals and similar materials. It measures 2.5 mm in diameter with an overall length of 43 mm and a flute length of 20.5 mm. The 150-degree drill point angle and three-flute parabolic geometry improve chip evacuation and reduce heat buildup during high-performance drilling operations. The bright, uncoated finish suits applications where coating interaction with workpiece material is a concern. Web thinning reduces entry force, and the tapered web adds rigidity throughout the cut. This bit is installed and used by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and precision fabricators.

This drill bit is rated for non-ferrous metal primary workpiece materials, including materials classified under code N and O. Its 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and maximum drilling depth of 15 mm make it well suited for short, accurate holes in aluminum, brass, copper, and similar alloys. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet systems used in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and precision hand tools. Series 229 designates the M.A. FORD. product family for this diameter range of 2 mm to 3 mm.

• Three-flute parabolic geometry promotes efficient chip clearing and faster feed rates
• Web-thinned and tapered web design lowers cutting forces at drill entry
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of non-ferrous workpiece materials
• Meets DIN 6537 L standards; manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified conditions

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and precision drilling setups accepting a 2.5 mm straight-cylindrical shank. Rated for non-ferrous metal workpiece materials as defined by primary material codes N and O.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling professional. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank fully in a properly sized collet or drill chuck before operation, and verify runout is within acceptable tolerance for the application. Do not exceed the rated maximum drilling depth of 15 mm per plunge. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle fully before changing or inspecting the bit.
