M.a. Ford 2XDSR1772A 4.50mm Carbide Drill Bit Altin

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 2XDSR1772A is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding materials including titanium and temperature-resistant alloys. Measuring 4.50 mm (0.1772 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 80.00 mm (3.1496 inches), this bit features a 142-degree drill point angle optimized for entry into tough workpiece materials with minimal thrust. The AlTiN (ALtima Titanium Nitride) coating improves heat resistance and tool life at elevated cutting speeds. A straight cylindrical shank and regular right-hand spiral flute make this a straightforward drop-in for standard drill chucks and CNC toolholders.

This drill bit is suited for machining shops, aerospace maintenance operations, and production environments where titanium alloys, stainless steels, and heat-resistant superalloys are common workpiece materials. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and 30.00 mm (1.1811 inches) maximum drilling depth make it appropriate for through-hole and blind-hole applications in the 4.00-5.00 mm size range. The two-flute spiral design supports chip evacuation in interrupted and continuous cuts. It is typically deployed in CNC machining centers and manual drill presses by machinists and toolroom technicians working to close-tolerance specifications.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• AlTiN (ALtima Titanium Nitride) coating for extended tool life in high-heat applications
• 142-degree point angle reduces thrust and improves entry in tough alloys
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute for reliable chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard chucks and collets
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified quality standards

Compatibility

Designed for drilling titanium, temperature-resistant alloys, and similar hard materials with primary workpiece material codes H, M, and S. Fits standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a 5.00 mm (0.1968 inch) shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and machine power locked out. Verify chuck or collet runout before seating the shank to protect the tight diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.012 mm. Do not exceed the 30.00 mm maximum drilling depth for this series. Cutting parameters such as spindle speed and feed rate should be selected based on workpiece material and machine rigidity using the manufacturer's recommended data.
