M.a. Ford 2XDCS1200A Carbide Jobber Drill Bit Wire 31

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 2XDCS1200A is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding materials. It carries a wire gauge size of 31 (0.1200 inches decimal) and features an ALtima Titanium Nitride coating for extended tool life and heat resistance. The 142-degree drill point angle suits it for work in temperature-resistant alloys and other difficult-to-machine materials classified under workpiece material codes H, M, and S. Overall length is 2.25 inches with a 0.75-inch flute length and a 0.125-inch straight cylindrical shank. This bit is installed by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and maintenance technicians running CNC or manual drilling operations on hard metals.

The 2XDCS1200A is built for use in aerospace, defense, and industrial manufacturing environments where temperature alloys, stainless steels, and high-strength materials are common. The coolant-through design supports high-feed drilling operations where chip evacuation and heat control are critical. It is suited to applications requiring tight hole tolerances, with a diameter tolerance of +0.00000 to -0.00047 inches. The 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio and regular spiral flute geometry make it a reliable choice for precision hole work in production and maintenance settings.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• ALtima Titanium Nitride coating reduces friction and extends cutting life
• 142-degree drill point angle optimized for temperature-resistant alloys (H, M, S material codes)
• Coolant-through design supports high-speed, deep-feed drilling with active chip and heat control
• Straight cylindrical shank (0.125 inches) fits standard collets and drill chucks
• Meets DIN 6537 K standard; manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified processes

Compatibility

Designed for use in Series 2XDCS applications targeting primary workpiece materials within material code groups H, M, and S, including temperature alloys and similar hard metals. Maximum recommended drilling depth is 0.600 inches.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians using compatible collet chucks or drill arbors rated for the 0.125-inch shank diameter. Ensure the spindle and workpiece are properly secured before drilling. Coolant-through operation requires a machine spindle with internal coolant delivery capability. Inspect the cutting edge for chipping or wear before each use, as carbide tooling is brittle and sensitive to side-loading or interrupted cuts.
