M.a. Ford 2XDCL1575A Taper Length Drill Bit 4mm Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 2XDCL1575A is a solid carbide taper length drill bit engineered for precision drilling in demanding industrial and machining applications. Built to Series 2XDCL specifications, it features a 142-degree point angle optimized for clean entry and reduced thrust force. The TiN (titanium nitride) coating extends tool life by increasing surface hardness and reducing friction. At 4 mm (0.1575 inches) in diameter with a 7xD flute-to-diameter ratio, this bit delivers the reach needed for deep-hole work while maintaining rigidity. It is installed and operated by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and CNC operators working in production and job-shop environments.

This drill bit is suited for through-hole and blind-hole drilling in cast iron, titanium, carbon steel, alloy steel, and tool steel. The right-hand spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation, and the straight cylindrical shank provides consistent seating in standard drill chucks and collets. Coolant-through capability makes it compatible with CNC machining centers equipped with internal coolant delivery, helping maintain cutting temperatures during extended runs in hard or abrasive materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and hard materials
• TiN coating increases surface hardness and reduces built-up edge during cutting
• 142-degree point angle reduces thrust and improves centering on entry
• Coolant-through design supports internal coolant delivery for deep-hole operations
• 7xD flute length-to-diameter ratio allows maximum drilling depth of 35 mm
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard collets and drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual machines accepting a 4 mm straight cylindrical shank. Compatible with material applications including cast iron, titanium, carbon steel, steel, and tool steel as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists or CNC technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the bit from the chuck or collet. Confirm the shank is seated cleanly and the collet nut or chuck jaws are tightened to the tool holder manufacturer's specification. When using coolant-through capability, verify internal coolant pressure and flow rate match the machining center's recommended parameters before initiating a cut cycle.
