It carries a 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inch) diameter, a 140-degree split-point tip geometry, and an ALTiN (Aluminum Titanium Nitride) coating for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials. Overall length is 4.88 inches. The two-flute helical design promotes efficient chip evacuation, and the straight cylindrical shank provides secure chuck engagement. Coolant-through capability makes this bit suitable for deep-hole operations and high-speed production environments where heat management is critical. Machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and maintenance technicians commonly install this type of tooling in CNC machining centers and drill presses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HPDCR5000A belongs to M.A. FORD Series HPDCR, a high-performance carbide drill line rated for difficult-to-machine materials including hardened steels, stainless alloys, cast iron, and high-temp alloys. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and 140-degree point angle suit both through-hole and blind-hole applications in production and job-shop settings. The ALTiN finish performs well in dry cutting and minimum-quantity lubrication (MQL) environments, reducing the need for flood coolant in many operations. This bit fits into standard drill chucks and ER collet systems sized for a 14 mm shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eALTiN coating provides thermal protection and reduces friction at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e140-degree split-point angle reduces walking and decreases thrust force at entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoolant-through design delivers cutting fluid directly to the tip for deep-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports deeper drilling with consistent chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank compatible with standard ER collets and Jacobs-style chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a high-performance OEM-style carbide drill for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and multi-spindle equipment accepting a straight cylindrical shank with a 14 mm shank diameter.

Verify collet or chuck bore matches the 14 mm shank diameter before seating the bit. Do not exceed the equipment manufacturer's rated spindle speed or feed rate for the workpiece material. Inspect the cutting edges and coating condition before each use; discard or recondition the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.88 inches (124 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 77 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 mm straight cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALTiN (ALtima)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: HPDCR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.36 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: M.A. FORD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: HPDCR5000A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748795744562,"sku":"HPDCR5000A","price":256.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/70327f780d64ae806016225d6f471e18_3d7cba57-201d-4724-810d-9dff93eeeca9.jpg?v=1788898494","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-hpdcr5000a-1-2-inch-carbide-drill-bit-altin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
