Built from solid carbide with a coated finish, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for drilling cast iron, carbon steel, tool steel, titanium, and general steel. The bit features a 142-degree drill point angle optimized for reduced thrust and accurate self-centering on hard materials. With a 7\/32-inch (0.2188-inch decimal) diameter, a 2-inch spiral flute length, and a 3-15\/16-inch overall length, it is sized for taper-length reach beyond a jobber bit while maintaining carbide stiffness. Coolant-through capability supports high-speed, deep-hole applications where chip evacuation and heat management are critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual machines in industrial, manufacturing, and maintenance-repair-overhaul settings. The regular spiral flute geometry and right-hand cut make it a standard-orientation replacement for production drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 15\/64-inch straight shank fits standard collets and chucks without adapters. Material applications include cast iron, titanium, carbon steel, steel, and tool steel, making it a versatile choice for machinists and toolroom technicians working across a range of workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance in metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e142-degree drill point angle reduces thrust and improves self-centering on hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoolant-through design supports high-speed drilling and efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoated finish extends tool life and reduces friction at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular spiral flute with 7xD flute-to-diameter ratio provides excellent chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight shank (15\/64 inch diameter) fits standard collets and drill chucks without special toolholding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with standard straight-shank collets and drill chucks accepting a 15\/64-inch shank.

Ensure the spindle and workpiece are fully secured before engaging the drill. Solid carbide tooling is brittle and should not be subjected to lateral loading or side pressure beyond the designed cutting parameters. Verify coolant-through supply pressure and flow are appropriate for the machine before use to protect the tool and workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/32 inch (0.2188 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\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches (2.0000 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-15\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/64 inch (0.2344 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-15\/16 inch (1.9400 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral (Regular)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length x Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0000 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0340 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.00000 to -0.00047 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreaded Shank\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2XDCL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0648 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 2XDCL2187A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51747634970930,"sku":"2XDCL2187A","price":206.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2e69bdc1fbe9bb0a26bdb72502fb20a0_e2c47c57-60f6-484d-9ef9-1a4b150fdd72.jpg?v=1788883850","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-2xdcl2187a-taper-length-drill-bit-7-32-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
