M.a. Ford 2XDCR3858A Jobber Drill 9.80 Mm Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 2XDCR3858A is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit engineered for high-performance drilling in demanding materials. It measures 9.80 mm in diameter (0.3858 inches) with an overall length of 103.00 mm (4.0551 inches) and a 142-degree split-point geometry. The ALtima aluminum titanium nitride (AlTiN) coating provides heat resistance and wear protection at elevated cutting speeds. Coolant-through capability supports chip evacuation and thermal management in deep-hole applications. The straight cylindrical shank measures 10 mm in diameter. This drill is intended for use by machinists and tooling professionals in production and job-shop environments.

Rated for primary use in steel, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys (ISO material groups H, M, and S), this drill suits CNC machining centers and drill presses where consistent hole tolerance and tool life are required. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and regular spiral flute design support controlled chip flow in these work materials. Maximum drilling depth is 44.00 mm. The 55.00 mm flute length (2.1654 inches) accommodates the full drilling depth with clearance. The Series 2XDCR design conforms to DIN 6537 K standards, making it a fit for applications requiring dimensional consistency across production runs.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive work materials
• ALtima (AlTiN) proprietary coating for extended tool life at high cutting temperatures
• 142-degree point angle reduces thrust force and improves self-centering on entry
• Coolant-through design aids chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup in deep-hole drilling
• Right-hand cutting, regular spiral flute for standard CNC and manual drill press use
• Conforms to DIN 6537 K; manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified processes

Compatibility

Designed for drilling steel, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys. Suitable for use in CNC machining centers and drill presses accepting a 10 mm straight cylindrical shank. Diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.015 mm positions this bit within the 9.00 mm to 10.00 mm drill size range (0.3500 to 0.4000 decimal inch range).

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with carbide tooling. Secure the shank fully in a collet or drill chuck rated for the shank diameter before operation. Ensure coolant-through supply is active when using the coolant port to prevent chip packing and thermal cracking of the carbide. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping before each use, as solid carbide is brittle and susceptible to damage from interrupted cuts or improper handling.
