M.a. Ford. 2XDSR0945A Jobber Drill 2.40mm Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 2XDSR0945A is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in difficult-to-machine materials. It carries a 2.40 mm diameter (0.0945 inches) with a 142-degree point angle engineered for aggressive entry into tough substrates. The ALtima and Titanium Nitride (TiN) dual coating reduces friction, extends cutting edge life, and improves chip evacuation. With an overall length of 57.00 mm (2.2441 inches) and a right-hand spiral flute, this drill is suited for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual setups where dimensional precision and tool longevity are priorities.

This drill bit is intended for machining temperature-resistant alloys and titanium-based materials, categorized under ISO material codes H, M, and S. It fits applications in aerospace, defense, medical device, and precision manufacturing environments where standard HSS tooling falls short. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio provides adequate flute length for chip clearance in deeper holes without sacrificing rigidity. Straight-cylindrical shank design allows use in standard drill chucks and collet holders compatible with 2.40 mm (0.0945-inch) shank diameter.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials
• ALtima and TiN coating combination extends tool life when drilling titanium and temperature alloys
• 142-degree split point angle reduces thrust force and improves centering on entry
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular spiral type for consistent chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard chucks and collets sized for 2.40 mm shanks
• ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing for dimensional consistency and quality assurance

Compatibility

Designed for use in the M.A. FORD. Series 2XDSR line, suitable for drilling temperature-resistant alloys and titanium workpieces in applications requiring a 2.40 mm drill diameter within the 2.00 to 3.00 mm size range. Fits any standard drill chuck or collet accepting a 2.40 mm straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation of this drill bit should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician familiar with carbide tooling requirements. Secure the shank fully in a compatible collet or chuck before operation and verify runout is within acceptable tolerance, as carbide is brittle and sensitive to side-loading. Power down the machine completely before changing tooling. Avoid using carbide drills in hand-held or unstable setups where lateral deflection can cause chipping or breakage.
