M.a. Ford. 2XDSR1850A Solid Carbide Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 2XDSR1850A is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding materials including titanium and temperature-resistant alloys. It carries a wire size designation of 13, corresponding to a decimal diameter of 0.1850 inches. The bit features a 142-degree drill point angle, a two-flute regular spiral configuration, and an ALtima coating that incorporates titanium nitride for improved wear resistance and thermal stability. Overall length is 3.1496 inches (80.00 mm) with a flute length of 1.4961 inches (38.00 mm). The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.1968 inches in diameter. This bit is intended for use by machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, and CNC operators working with hard or exotic materials.

The 2XDSR1850A belongs to M.A. FORD. Series 2XDSR, a line engineered for cutting titanium (ISO material code S) and heat-resistant superalloys (ISO material code M and H). It is suited for both manual drill press work and CNC machining center applications where consistent hole tolerances in difficult workpiece materials are required. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and right-hand spiral flute geometry support chip evacuation in these typically stringy or gummy materials. Maximum drilling depth is 30.00 mm (1.181 inches). Coolant-through capability is not included in this design.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and exotic alloys
• ALtima coating with titanium nitride finish for reduced heat buildup and extended tool life
• 142-degree point angle optimized for titanium and temperature-resistant alloy entry without workpiece deformation
• Two-flute regular spiral geometry promotes chip clearance in difficult-to-machine materials
• Diameter tolerance held to +0.000 to -0.012 mm for consistent hole quality
• Manufactured to ISO 9001:2015 certified quality standards

Compatibility

Designed for drilling titanium and temperature-resistant alloys as identified by ISO workpiece material codes H, M, and S. Fits standard drill chucks and collets accepting a 0.1968-inch (5.00 mm) straight-cylindrical shank. Part of the M.A. FORD. Series 2XDSR line covering the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch decimal inch size range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or CNC technicians familiar with carbide tooling practices. Power down and lock out spindle equipment before inserting or removing the bit from the chuck or collet. Carbide is brittle and susceptible to chipping if dropped or used with excessive runout - verify tool holding concentricity before operation. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards for feeds, speeds, and workholding when machining titanium or superalloys.
