M.a. Ford 2XDSR3425A Jobber Drill 8.70mm Carbide Tin

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 2XDSR3425A is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding materials. It features an 8.70 mm (0.3425 inch) cutting diameter, a 142-degree point angle for reduced thrust and improved self-centering, and an ALtima plus Titanium Nitride (TiN) combination coating that extends tool life in abrasive and hard-to-machine workpiece materials. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 10.00 mm in diameter, and the two-flute right-hand spiral geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling professionals install this drill in production and job-shop environments where consistent dimensional accuracy and tool longevity are required.

This drill is engineered primarily for use in temperature-resistant alloys, titanium, and similar difficult-to-machine materials classified under ISO material codes H, M, and S. With a flute-to-diameter ratio of 5xD and a maximum recommended drilling depth of 44.00 mm, it is suited for moderate-depth bored holes in aerospace, medical, and industrial machining applications. No coolant-through capability is present, so external coolant or cutting fluid delivery should be used when drilling heat-sensitive alloys to manage chip load and workpiece temperature.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials
• ALtima plus TiN dual coating reduces friction and extends tool life in titanium and temperature-resistant alloys
• 142-degree point angle lowers entry thrust and improves centering without a pilot hole in many applications
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute geometry promotes consistent chip evacuation in through and blind holes
• Diameter tolerance held to +0.000 to -0.015 mm for close-tolerance hole production
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified quality standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in machining centers, CNC drill presses, and manual machines accepting a 10.00 mm straight-cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece materials are temperature-resistant alloys, titanium, and similar high-strength metals corresponding to ISO material codes H, M, and S.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle and collet or chuck are fully de-energized and locked out before inserting or removing the drill. The straight-cylindrical shank requires a properly sized collet or drill chuck with adequate clamping torque to prevent slippage under cutting loads. Because this drill has no internal coolant-through channel, apply external cutting fluid or coolant consistently to control heat buildup when drilling titanium or heat-resistant alloys.
