M.a. Ford 2XDSR0984A Solid Carbide Jobber Drill 2.50 Mm

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 2XDSR0984A is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit engineered for high-performance drilling in ferrous and difficult-to-machine materials. Ground to a 142-degree point angle, it produces clean entry geometry and reduces thrust in hard steels, stainless steels, and high-temperature alloys. The bit carries an ALtima AlTiN coating that extends tool life and supports higher cutting speeds. At 2.50 mm in diameter with a 57.00 mm overall length, this is a precision instrument sized for tight-tolerance bores. A 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio provides efficient chip evacuation across the 30.00 mm flute length. This drill is suited for machining operations run by machinists, tool-and-die techs, and maintenance professionals on manual or CNC equipment.

This drill bit is designed for use in steel, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys — material codes H, M, and S under ISO workpiece classification. The straight cylindrical shank at 2.50 mm diameter accepts standard drill chucks and collet systems. It is appropriate for production drilling and precision work in job shops, aerospace maintenance, and industrial fabrication environments where consistent hole quality in challenging materials is required. The 2XDSR series is built to ISO 9001:2015 quality standards and is sold individually.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction delivers rigidity and heat resistance beyond high-speed steel in demanding materials
• ALtima AlTiN proprietary coating reduces friction and extends tool life at elevated cutting temperatures
• 142-degree point angle lowers entry thrust and improves centering on steel and stainless steel workpieces
• 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio with regular spiral flute design promotes chip clearance in deep-hole applications up to 23.00 mm maximum drilling depth
• Right-hand cutting direction with two flutes for standard CNC and manual spindle compatibility
• Diameter tolerance held to +0.000 to -0.006 mm for consistent close-tolerance hole sizing

Compatibility

Designed for drilling steel, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys (ISO workpiece material codes H, M, and S). Fits any standard drill chuck or collet accepting a 2.50 mm straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This drill is installed and operated by machinists or maintenance technicians on CNC machining centers, drill presses, or manual mills. Secure the straight shank fully in a collet or Jacobs-style chuck before operation. Confirm spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter before cutting. This bit does not support coolant-through delivery — apply external cutting fluid or mist cooling as required by the workpiece material and depth of cut.
