Seco 02897945 Solid Carbide Jobber Drill 10.50 Mm Alcrn

Product Description

The SECO 02897945 is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding materials. Ground to a 140-degree point angle with an AlCrN (aluminum chromium nitride) coating, it delivers heat resistance and wear life well above uncoated HSS tooling. At 10.50 mm in diameter with a 118.00 mm overall length and a 71.00 mm flute length, this drill fits standard straight-cylindrical toolholders and collet chucks. It is sized for machining applications where dimensional accuracy and tool longevity in hard or abrasive workpiece materials are priorities for the machinist or toolroom professional installing it.

This drill is engineered for use in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other hard materials, corresponding to ISO material groups P, M, K, and H. The 6xD flute-to-diameter ratio makes it appropriate for general-purpose jobber drilling operations on CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual lathes where a rigid, non-coolant-through solid carbide tool is specified. The right-hand cutting, regular spiral flute geometry promotes consistent chip evacuation in both through-hole and blind-hole configurations at typical production depths up to 71.00 mm.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard workpiece materials
• AlCrN coating provides thermal stability and reduced friction at the cutting edge
• 140-degree point angle reduces thrust and improves self-centering on steel and stainless steel
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute geometry for consistent chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard collet chucks and drill chucks
• ANSI-standard designation for straightforward tool library and procurement integration

Compatibility

The SECO 02897945 belongs to the SD1105A series and is suited for use in ISO material groups P (steel), M (stainless steel), K (cast iron), and H (hard materials). It is compatible with any toolholder or collet chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at the specified shank diameter of approximately 0.4728 decimal inch.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque guidelines for the collet or chuck in use. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Verify runout at the cutting tip before beginning production drilling, as excessive runout will accelerate edge wear on carbide tooling. Coolant-through is not supported on this drill; use external coolant or cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material when required.
