M.a. Ford. 2XDCL2638A Taper Length Drill Bit 6.7 Mm

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 2XDCL2638A is a taper length solid carbide drill bit engineered for precision drilling in demanding industrial and trade applications. Built to 6.7 mm (0.2638 inch) diameter with a 142-degree split point, it reduces walking on entry and generates cleaner hole geometry. The TiN coating extends tool life by reducing friction and heat buildup at the cutting edge. Coolant-through construction delivers cutting fluid directly to the tip, making this bit well-suited for deep-hole work where chip evacuation and thermal control are critical. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC operators are the primary installers of this tool.

This drill bit is designed for taper length applications in materials including cast iron, titanium, carbon steel, steel, and tool steel. The 7xD flute length-to-diameter ratio and 60 mm flute length support extended reach without sacrificing rigidity. The straight cylindrical shank at 8.00 mm diameter seats securely in standard drill chucks and collet holders. With a maximum drilling depth of 48.00 mm and a 109 mm overall length, it fits production and jobshop setups where a longer reach than a jobber-length bit is required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends cutting edge life
• 142-degree point angle minimizes walking and improves entry accuracy
• Coolant-through design supports deep-hole drilling and chip evacuation
• 7xD flute ratio with 60 mm flute length for extended reach applications
• Right-hand spiral flute for standard CNC and manual spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use in materials including cast iron, titanium, carbon steel, steel, and tool steel. Compatible with standard 8.00 mm straight cylindrical collet holders and drill chucks used in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual mills.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the bit. Seat the straight shank fully and evenly in the collet or chuck to prevent runout. When using coolant-through capability, verify that the machine tool coolant supply is compatible and that the coolant path is clear before beginning the drilling cycle.
