M.a. Ford. 2XDSR6299A Jobber Drill 16mm Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 2XDSR6299A is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in steel, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys. It carries a 16.00 mm (0.6299 inch) diameter, a 142-degree split point, and an ALtima AlTiN proprietary coating that extends tool life in demanding production environments. The overall length is 146.00 mm (5.748 inches), with a flute length of 82.00 mm (3.228 inches) and a maximum drilling depth of 66.00 mm. The straight cylindrical shank matches the bit diameter at 16.00 mm, making it compatible with standard chucks and toolholders. This drill is built for machinists and toolroom professionals running CNC or manual machines in heavy-duty applications.

This bit is suited for production and job-shop environments where difficult materials are the norm. Primary workpiece material classifications are H (hardened steel), M (stainless steel), and S (high-temperature alloy), covering a broad range of ferrous and exotic-metal applications. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and regular spiral flute geometry support chip evacuation in deeper holes. It is a right-hand cutting drill with a standard point type, packaged individually for single-unit procurement. No coolant-through capability is present, so external coolant or cutting oil application is the appropriate method for heat management during use.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hardened and abrasive workpiece materials
• ALtima AlTiN coating provides elevated heat resistance and extends cutting life versus uncoated carbide
• 142-degree split point reduces thrust and centers the drill without a pilot hole
• Regular spiral, 2-flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation at standard feed rates
• 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports drilling to 66.00 mm maximum depth
• Diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.018 mm ensures consistent hole sizing within close-tolerance applications
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in steel, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloy workpieces. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and toolholders accepting a 16.00 mm (0.6299 inch) shank. Part of the M.A. FORD. Series 2XDSR high-performance jobber drill line.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician familiar with carbide tooling. Ensure the machine spindle and chuck or collet are clean and properly torqued before seating the shank. This drill does not include coolant-through capability; apply external cutting fluid or flood coolant to manage heat at the cutting zone. Carbide tooling is brittle compared to high-speed steel and should not be subjected to side loading or interrupted cuts beyond the tool design parameters.
