M.a. Ford. 22911000 Solid Carbide Jobber Drill Bit No. 35

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 22911000 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit in wire gauge size No. 35, with a decimal diameter of 0.1100 inches. It features a 150-degree drill point angle, a 3-flute spiral design, and a bright uncoated finish. The overall length is 2.25 inches, with a flute length of 1.25 inches and a maximum drilling depth of 0.94 inches. The straight-cylindrical shank diameter matches the drill diameter at 0.1100 inches. This bit is engineered for high-performance drilling applications and is suited for installation or production environments where precision small-diameter holes are required in non-ferrous materials.

This drill bit is designed primarily for use in non-ferrous metal applications, including aluminum, copper, brass, and similar materials. The 3-flute geometry improves chip evacuation and surface finish in these softer materials compared to standard 2-flute configurations. It is appropriate for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and handheld power tools where tight diameter tolerances are critical. The Series 229 designation places it within M.A. FORD.'s high-performance carbide drill line. Machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and maintenance technicians working with non-ferrous stock will find this bit suitable for close-tolerance work.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous metal drilling
• 3-flute spiral design improves chip evacuation and hole finish compared to standard 2-flute bits
• 150-degree drill point angle reduces thrust and minimizes entry burr on non-ferrous workpieces
• Diameter tolerance held to 0.0001 to 0.0004 inches for precise hole sizing
• Bright uncoated finish; no coolant-through requirement simplifies setup
• Conforms to DIN 6537 L standard; manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified conditions

Compatibility

Designed as a jobber length replacement or production drill bit for applications requiring a No. 35 wire gauge hole in non-ferrous metals. Compatible with standard straight-shank chucks accepting a 0.1100-inch shank diameter. Suitable for use in CNC and manual drilling equipment meeting that shank specification.

Installation Notes

Install into a clean, properly sized collet or drill chuck and verify runout before beginning a drilling cycle. Secure the workpiece firmly to prevent movement during drilling, which is especially important at small diameters where bit deflection and breakage are more likely. Solid carbide bits are brittle compared to high-speed steel; avoid lateral loading or side pressure during entry and exit. Follow the machine tool manufacturer's recommended speeds and feeds for solid carbide tooling in non-ferrous materials.
