M.a. Ford. 2XDSR2402A Jobber Drill 6.10mm Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 2XDSR2402A is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding metalworking applications. It measures 6.10 mm (0.2402 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 91.00 mm (3.5827 inches) and a flute length of 48.00 mm (1.8898 inches). The 142-degree point angle is suited for hard and abrasive materials, and the ALtima Titanium Nitride (AlTiN) proprietary coating provides elevated heat and wear resistance. The two-flute, right-hand spiral design promotes chip evacuation during continuous drilling cycles. This bit belongs to M.A. FORD.'s 2XDSR series and carries ISO 9001:2015 certification, confirming consistent manufacturing quality for professional machinists and tool-room technicians.

This drill is intended for use in steel, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys - workpiece material codes H, M, and S. It is suited for production machining, job-shop operations, and maintenance environments where harder materials require a carbide substrate rather than high-speed steel. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports drilling to a maximum depth of 38.00 mm. The straight cylindrical shank with an 8 mm (0.3150-inch) shank diameter fits standard drill chucks and collet holders used on CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual mills. Coolant-through is not supported on this model.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard-metal applications
• ALtima AlTiN proprietary coating enhances heat resistance and extends tool life in ferrous and high-temp alloy cutting
• 142-degree standard point angle reduces thrust and improves centering on hard materials
• Two-flute regular spiral geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation
• 5xD flute ratio with 38.00 mm maximum drilling depth
• ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing for dimensional consistency - diameter tolerance +0.000 to -0.015 mm

Compatibility

Designed for use in steel, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys (material codes H, M, S). The straight cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks and collet-style toolholders accepting an 8 mm shank diameter on CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or tool-room technicians familiar with carbide tooling. Secure the straight shank firmly in a collet holder or drill chuck rated for the shank diameter before operation, and verify spindle runout is within acceptable limits to avoid premature edge chipping. Carbide is brittle relative to high-speed steel - avoid side loading, interrupted cuts without proper feed adjustment, or dropping the tool on hard surfaces. Always follow applicable machine guarding and PPE requirements per your shop safety program.
