M.a. Ford. 2XDCR3425A Solid Carbide Jobber Drill 8.70 Mm

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 2XDCR3425A is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding metalworking applications. It features an 8.70 mm (0.3425 inch) diameter, a 142-degree point angle optimized for self-centering and reduced thrust, and an ALtima aluminum titanium nitride (AlTiN) coating that extends tool life under high heat and abrasion. Overall length is 103.00 mm (4.0551 inches) with a 55.00 mm (2.1654 inch) flute length. The straight cylindrical shank measures 10 mm (0.3937 inches) in diameter. This bit is installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual milling applications.

This jobber drill is intended for cutting steel, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys - workpiece material codes H, M, and S. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and coolant-through design make it well suited for deep-hole drilling operations where chip evacuation and thermal management are critical. It is a right-hand cutting, regular spiral flute configuration from the M.A. FORD. Series 2XDCR line, built to DIN 6537 K standards and manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified processes.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials
• ALtima (AlTiN) proprietary coating reduces heat buildup and increases tool life in steel and high-temp alloys
• 142-degree point angle improves self-centering and lowers axial thrust on entry
• Coolant-through design supports internal coolant delivery for deep-hole drilling up to 44.00 mm (1.732 inches)
• Straight cylindrical shank for direct chuck or collet mounting in standard toolholders
• Conforms to DIN 6537 K geometry; manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system

Compatibility

Designed for drilling steel, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys (material codes H, M, S). Fits standard chucks and collets accepting a 10 mm (0.3937 inch) straight shank. Part of the M.A. FORD. Series 2XDCR high-performance carbide drill family, sized within the 8.00 to 9.00 mm (0.3000 to 0.3500 inch) diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Secure the shank fully in a precision collet or drill chuck and verify runout before starting the cut. Power down or e-stop the machine and confirm zero rotation before mounting or removing the tool. Use the recommended coolant flow rate for coolant-through applications and avoid dry-running this drill in hard alloys, as heat buildup will shorten tool life.
