M.a. Ford 2XDCR2638A Jobber Drill 6.70mm Solid Carbide Altin

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 2XDCR2638A is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit engineered for high-performance drilling in demanding materials. It measures 6.70 mm (0.2638 inches) in diameter with a 142-degree split point that reduces walking and minimizes thrust on entry. The ALtima AlTiN proprietary coating delivers elevated heat and wear resistance, making this drill well-suited for production environments where tool life and hole quality matter. Overall length is 91.00 mm (3.583 inches) with a flute length of 48.00 mm (1.890 inches). The straight cylindrical shank measures 8 mm (0.625 inches) in diameter. This is a tool installed by machinists and precision drilling professionals.

This drill is designed primarily for cutting steel, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio provides the chip clearance and rigidity needed when working harder, more abrasive workpiece materials. Coolant-through capability supports through-spindle coolant delivery, which helps manage heat in deep-hole and high-speed applications. The right-hand, regular spiral flute geometry supports consistent chip evacuation in typical CNC machining and manual drill press setups. Maximum recommended drilling depth is 38.00 mm (0.875 inches).

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• ALtima AlTiN coating for high heat resistance and extended tool life
• 142-degree point angle reduces entry thrust and material deformation
• Coolant-through design compatible with through-spindle coolant systems
• 5xD flute ratio balances chip clearance and drill body stiffness
• Diameter tolerance held to +0.000 to -0.015 mm for consistent hole sizing

Compatibility

Designed for drilling steel, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys. Compatible with CNC machining centers and drill presses accepting an 8 mm straight cylindrical shank. Fits M.A. FORD Series 2XDCR tooling configurations.

Installation Notes

Install in a machine spindle or chuck rated for the shank diameter before engaging the workpiece. Ensure the spindle and coolant system are fully stopped before loading or removing the drill. Through-spindle coolant connections should be verified for compatibility with the machine tool prior to use. Solid carbide tools are brittle — avoid side loads, interrupted cuts without appropriate feed adjustments, and unsupported workpiece setups that can induce chatter or tool breakage.
