M.a. Ford 40202500 Combo Drill Countersink 1/8 Inch Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 40202500 is a combination drill countersink designed for simultaneous drilling and countersinking in a single operation. Part of the Series 402 lineup, it carries a trade size of 00 with a 1/8 inch body diameter and a drill point diameter of 0.025 inches. The overall length is 1.5 inches, making it a long-length tool suited for tight-clearance work. Manufactured from solid carbide with a bright polished finish, it delivers the hardness and wear resistance required when working in demanding materials. The 60-degree included angle and right-hand cut are standard for most countersink applications in precision machining environments.

This combo drill countersink is intended for use on cast iron, hardened steel, special alloys, stainless steel, and general steel workpieces. The plain cutting edge style and double end type extend usable tool life by allowing the operator to flip the tool when one end wears. It is well suited for production machining, tool and die work, and precision fabrication shops where consistent countersink geometry is required across multiple operations in a single pass.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for hardness and long service life in ferrous and alloy materials
• Bright polished finish reduces friction and aids chip evacuation
• 60-degree included angle for standard countersink profiles
• Double end design doubles usable tool life before replacement
• Long-length tool at 1.5 inches OAL for extended reach applications
• Right-hand cut compatible with standard spindle rotation on most machines

Compatibility

Designed for countersinking and drilling operations on cast iron, hardened steel, special alloys, stainless steel, and carbon steel workpieces. Fits standard toolholders accepting a 1/8 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by a machinist or toolroom technician into a compatible collet or drill chuck accepting a 1/8 inch diameter shank. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and power is isolated before changing tooling. Run at speeds appropriate for solid carbide tooling in the target workpiece material - refer to the tool manufacturer cutting data or standard machining references for surface footage recommendations. Inspect both ends before use and do not exceed the tool geometry limits by applying excessive side load.
