M.a. Ford 22916540 Carbide Drill Bit 4.2 Mm 150 Deg

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 22916540 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit sized at 4.2 mm (0.1654 inches) in diameter with a 150-degree drill point angle. The three-flute parabolic design promotes efficient chip evacuation during high-speed drilling operations. A bright coating and web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduce thrust force at entry. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 6.0 mm and seats securely in standard chucks. This bit conforms to DIN 6537L and is suited for machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and precision fabricators working in production or maintenance environments.

This drill bit is intended for right-hand cutting applications in materials where solid carbide tooling is required for accuracy and tool life. With an overall length of 74.0 mm, a flute length of 36.0 mm, and a maximum drilling depth of 29.0 mm, it fits standard CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-held precision drilling equipment. The parabolic flute geometry supports deeper hole applications where chip packing is a concern. It falls within the 4.00 mm to 5.00 mm drill diameter range and is sold individually.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in precision drilling
• 150-degree drill point angle reduces thrust and delamination at entry
• Three-flute parabolic geometry improves chip flow and evacuation
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers cutting resistance at center
• Bright coating maintains tight diameter tolerance of 0.0002 to 0.0006 inches
• DIN 6537L specification ensures dimensional consistency for interchangeable tooling setups

Compatibility

Designed as a jobber length carbide drill bit conforming to DIN 6537L, suitable for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and precision drilling applications requiring a 6.0 mm straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians familiar with carbide tooling requirements. Ensure the machine spindle and chuck are fully stopped and de-energized before inserting or changing the bit. Carbide tooling is brittle and should not be subjected to side loads, interrupted cuts beyond rated parameters, or excessive run-out in the chuck. Verify shank seating and chuck clamping force before beginning any drilling operation.
