M.a. Ford 2XDCS2187A Jobber Drill Bit 7/32 Inch Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 2XDCS2187A is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding materials. It measures 7/32 inch (0.2187 inch) in diameter with an overall length of 2.598 inches and a flute length of 1.102 inches. The 142-degree drill point angle is optimized for hard and heat-resistant alloys. The bit carries an ALtima Titanium Nitride coating that extends tool life in aggressive cutting applications. With coolant-through capability and a regular spiral flute design, it maintains chip evacuation and thermal control during deep passes. Licensed tradespeople and machinists working in aerospace, medical, and high-temp alloy fabrication environments rely on this bit for precision bore work.

The 2XDCS2187A is intended for use in primary workpiece materials classified as high-temperature alloys, stainless steels, and similar hard materials (material codes H, M, and S). The straight-cylindrical shank measures 15/64 inch (0.2344 inch) in diameter and seats into standard drill chucks and collet holders. With a maximum drilling depth of 0.790 inches and a 3xD flute-by-diameter ratio, this bit suits precision drilling operations in CNC machining centers and manual drill press setups where tight tolerances are required. The diameter tolerance is held to a range of plus 0.00000 to minus 0.00047 inch, making it suitable for close-tolerance bore applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this bit should be performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians familiar with carbide tooling requirements. Ensure the machine spindle and chuck are clean and properly torqued before seating the straight-cylindrical shank. Activate coolant-through supply at the spindle before engaging the cut to protect the carbide substrate and coating. Avoid running solid carbide tooling in hand drills or unsupported setups, as carbide is brittle and susceptible to breakage under lateral loading.
