Seco 02897873 Jobber Drill 5mm Solid Carbide Alcrn

Product Description

The SECO 02897873 is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding materials. Built on the SD1105A series platform, it features a 5.00 mm cutting diameter, a 140-degree split-point geometry, and an AlCrN (aluminum chromium nitride) coating that resists heat and wear at elevated cutting speeds. The right-hand spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation. With an overall length of 82.00 mm and a flute length of 44.00 mm, this drill suits both CNC machining centers and manual drill press setups where precise hole geometry is required in tough workpiece materials.

This drill is engineered for production and maintenance drilling in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other hard materials classified under ISO material codes P, M, K, and H. The 6.00 mm straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in standard drill chucks and collet holders. The 7xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports drilling depths up to 35.00 mm, making it well-suited for through-holes and blind holes in structural components, tooling plates, and fabricated assemblies encountered in manufacturing and industrial maintenance environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive workpiece materials
• AlCrN coating extends tool life at high cutting temperatures common in steel and stainless steel drilling
• 140-degree point angle reduces thrust force and improves self-centering on entry
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix promotes consistent chip flow out of the hole
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and ER collet systems
• ANSI-compliant dimensional standards ensure dimensional interchangeability with other jobber drills

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-held drilling equipment fitted with chucks or collet holders accepting a 6.00 mm straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and hard materials per ISO codes P, M, K, and H.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed with the machine in a full stop, locked-out state per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Seat the shank fully in the chuck or collet holder and verify runout before cutting. Do not exceed the maximum drilling depth of 35.00 mm for this tool length. Carbide is brittle — avoid side loading and interrupted cuts that generate lateral shock unless the application is specifically rated for it.
