M.a. Ford 22910150 Solid Carbide Jobber Drill Bit No. 38

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 22910150 is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit sized at No. 38 wire gauge, which corresponds to 0.1015 inches in decimal. It features a 150-degree standard point angle and a three-flute parabolic geometry designed for fast chip evacuation and reduced thrust. The overall length is 2.25 inches with a flute length of 1.25 inches and a maximum drilling depth of 0.9375 inches. The shank is straight-cylindrical at 0.1015 inches in diameter. The bit carries a bright, uncoated finish and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration for easier entry. It is manufactured to DIN 6537 L standards and produced under ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management.

This drill bit is intended for use on non-ferrous metal workpieces, making it well-suited for aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and parabolic flute form support high-performance drilling in production and maintenance environments. Right-hand cutting direction is standard. Typical users include machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and precision fabricators working with hand-held pneumatic drills, drill presses, and CNC machining centers. The Series 229 designation places this bit within M.A. FORD's high-performance carbide drilling line. Coolant-through capability is not available on this model.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous applications
• Three-flute parabolic design promotes efficient chip removal and reduces heat buildup
• 150-degree standard point angle reduces thrust and improves point stability on entry
• Web-thinned, tapered web lowers cutting resistance at the drill tip
• Tight diameter tolerance of 0.0001 to 0.0004 inches ensures consistent hole sizing
• Manufactured to DIN 6537 L under ISO 9001:2015 certified production

Compatibility

Designed for use in drilling non-ferrous metals, with a primary workpiece material code of N and O. Compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks on hand drills, drill presses, and CNC machining centers that accept a 0.1015-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by machinists or tooling technicians. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a collet or drill chuck rated for the shank diameter before operation. Verify spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter before starting the cut. Do not use this bit on ferrous metals, as the geometry and material are optimized for non-ferrous applications.
