M.a. Ford. 22959060 Carbide Drill Bit 15 Mm

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 22959060 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit engineered for high-performance drilling in non-ferrous metals and similar materials. Built to DIN 6537L standards, it features a 3-flute parabolic design that promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting resistance. The drill carries a bright uncoated finish and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration for improved point penetration. At 15 mm in diameter with a 150-degree drill point angle, it delivers clean entry geometry suited to demanding production and maintenance drilling tasks. Licensed machinists and tooling specialists are the primary users of this carbide drill in shop and field environments.

This drill bit is designed for right-hand cut operations in non-ferrous metals, classified under primary workpiece material code N and O per the DIN designation system. With a maximum drilling depth of 63 mm and an overall length of 133 mm, it fits standard jobber-length drill chucks and CNC machining center toolholders. The straight-cylindrical shank at 16 mm diameter seats securely in collet or Weldon-style holders. Its 5xD flute-by-diameter ratio supports deeper hole applications within its rated depth range.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous metal drilling
• 3-flute parabolic flute geometry improves chip evacuation and feed rates
• 150-degree drill point angle optimized for clean entry in aluminum, brass, and similar materials
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces thrust requirements at the cutting point
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for applications where coating interaction with workpiece material is a concern
• Conforms to DIN 6537L specification; manufacturer holds ISO 9001:2015 certification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide jobber drill for use in non-ferrous metal machining applications requiring a 15 mm diameter, straight-cylindrical shank drill conforming to DIN 6537L geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tooling technicians using standard drill chucks, collet holders, or Weldon-style tool holders rated for the 16 mm shank diameter. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the drill. Verify that feed rate and spindle speed settings are appropriate for solid carbide tooling and the target workpiece material before beginning the cut. Do not exceed the rated maximum drilling depth of 63 mm in a single pass without pecking cycles to clear chips.
