M.a. Ford. CXDCR1360AP Jobber Drill Bit Wire 29 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. CXDCR1360AP is a jobber-length solid carbide drill bit designed for precision drilling in demanding production and machining environments. Wire size 29, it drills to a decimal equivalent of 0.1360 inches. The 142-degree drill point angle reduces walking and breakthrough burr on entry and exit. ALtima Plus coating provides thermal and abrasion resistance for extended tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 5/32-inch straight-cylindrical shank and an overall length of 2.6 inches, this bit fits standard drill chucks on CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-held pneumatic drills. Installed by machinists, toolroom technicians, and precision fabricators.

This bit is suited for production drilling in close-tolerance applications where consistent hole size and finish are required. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and helical flute geometry promote efficient chip evacuation, reducing heat buildup in deep-hole passes. Coolant-through capability allows internal coolant delivery directly to the cutting edge, making it appropriate for use on CNC platforms equipped with through-spindle coolant systems. Double margin construction supports hole straightness and finish quality. Right-hand cutting direction, right-hand spiral. Typical applications include aerospace, automotive, and general metalworking where wire-gauge hole sizing is specified.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard or abrasive materials
• ALtima Plus coating for thermal protection and extended cutting life
• 142-degree drill point angle reduces walking and minimizes exit burr
• Coolant-through design for internal coolant delivery on compatible CNC spindles
• Double margin geometry for improved hole straightness and surface finish
• Helical flute with 5xD ratio for efficient chip evacuation in deeper holes

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard straight-shank drill chucks and collets accepting a 5/32-inch (0.1562-inch) shank diameter on CNC machining centers, drill presses, and pneumatic drilling equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel familiar with carbide tooling. Secure the shank fully in a compatible chuck or collet before operation and verify runout before starting the cut. When using the coolant-through feature, confirm the spindle coolant system pressure and flow are set within the machine tool manufacturer specifications. Carbide is brittle — avoid impact loading, side pressure, or interrupted cuts beyond the tool design rating.
