M.a. Ford. 2XDCR1360A Jobber Drill Bit 29 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 2XDCR1360A is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding materials. It carries a wire gauge size of 29 (0.1360 inch decimal) and features a 142-degree drill point angle optimized for entry accuracy in tough workpiece materials. The ALtima coating extends tool life in high-heat applications. With an overall length of 3.15 inches and a flute length of 1.26 inches, this bit delivers a 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio. A straight-cylindrical shank measures 5/32 inch (0.1562 inch decimal) for secure chuck engagement. Right-hand cut with a regular spiral flute pattern rounds out the geometry. Installation is performed by machinists and tool-room technicians working in metalworking and manufacturing environments.

This drill bit is rated for use in high-temperature alloys and materials classified under workpiece material codes H, M, and S, which include hardened steels, stainless steels, and superalloys. Coolant-through capability supports through-spindle coolant delivery for improved chip evacuation and thermal control during deep-hole drilling cycles. Maximum drilling depth is 1.00 inch. The 2XDCR series is built for production environments where tool life and dimensional consistency are critical. It is well suited to CNC machining centers and precision drill presses running ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit option for applications requiring a wire gauge 29 (0.1360 inch) solid carbide jobber drill bit in the M.A. FORD. 2XDCR series, targeting high-temperature alloy workpiece materials coded H, M, and S.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists and CNC technicians. Ensure the spindle and machine tool are fully powered down and locked out before changing tooling. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a collet or drill chuck rated for the shank diameter before operation. When using through-spindle coolant, verify coolant pressure and flow are compatible with the machine tool and spindle setup before starting a drilling cycle.
