Built to Series 2XDCL specifications, it features a 142-degree split-point geometry and a TiN (titanium nitride) coating that extends tool life and reduces friction at the cutting edge. At 3.8 mm (0.1496 inch) in diameter, this bit suits precision hole-making in tight-tolerance applications. The 7xD flute-to-diameter ratio and coolant-through capability make it well suited for deeper holes where chip evacuation and heat management are critical. Licensed machinists, toolroom operators, and CNC programmers are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is designed for use on CNC machining centers, drill presses, and multi-axis machines requiring consistent, repeatable hole quality. Its right-hand spiral flute and straight cylindrical shank seat securely in standard collets and chucks. The TiN coating and solid carbide substrate support drilling into cast iron, carbon steel, tool steel, titanium, and general steel alloys. A maximum drilling depth of 35 mm and a 44 mm flute length allow operation within typical taper length drilling envelopes without tool changeover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e142-degree drill point angle for reduced thrust force and accurate self-centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in steel and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoolant-through design supports chip evacuation and thermal control at depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7xD flute length-to-diameter ratio enables deeper hole capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard collets and chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style taper length drill bit for use in standard straight-shank toolholders, collet chucks, and keyless drill chucks accepting a 4 mm shank diameter on CNC and manual drilling equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and the machine in a locked-out state per applicable OSHA and machine tool safety standards. Seat the straight shank fully into the collet or chuck and verify runout before beginning a cut. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant through the spindle when the application and machine support it. Inspect the cutting edge for chipping or wear before each use; carbide tooling is brittle and should not be dropped or used with excessive side load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2XDCL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.8 mm (0.1496 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 142 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 44 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 92 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48 mm (1.8897 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.59 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length to Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 to -0.012 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Titanium, Carbon Steel, Steel, Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0277 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: M.A. FORD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2XDCL1496A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52088449040690,"sku":"2XDCL1496A","price":174.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2e69bdc1fbe9bb0a26bdb72502fb20a0_60a31101-c920-49b5-b54e-833d5c3ffb2f.jpg?v=1790061089","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-2xdcl1496a-taper-length-drill-bit-3-8mm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
