This bit carries a No. 68 wire gauge size, equivalent to 0.0310 inches (1\/32 inch nominal), with a 130-degree point angle optimized for accurate entry and reduced walking on hard materials. The overall length is 1.5000 inches, and the flute length measures 0.3950 inches. Built from solid carbide, the 20245 delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required when drilling tight-tolerance holes in metal, composite, and hard plastic workpieces. It features a right-hand spiral flute and a bright, uncoated finish. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary installers of this bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and precision hand-held spindle tools where small-bore hole generation is required. Common applications include circuit board drilling, instrument component manufacturing, watch and medical device component work, and any operation demanding repeatable accuracy at sub-1\/8-inch diameters. The 1\/8-inch shank diameter allows compatibility with standard collet and chuck systems found on benchtop and production machines. It is part of the Harvey Tool Miniature Drills series, which targets high-precision, small-feature machining environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 68 wire gauge size at 0.0310 inches for precise small-bore drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e130-degree point angle reduces drill walking and improves entry accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute promotes chip evacuation in deep or blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of base materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/8-inch shank fits standard collets and chucks without an adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling selection for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and precision spindle tools equipped with 1\/8-inch collets or chucks accepting miniature carbide drill bits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with small-diameter carbide tooling. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing or seating the bit in the collet or chuck. Solid carbide bits are brittle — avoid side-loading, excessive feed rates, or using drill chucks that cannot hold the shank concentrically, as runout will fracture the bit at small diameters. Follow machine manufacturer specifications for spindle speed and feed rate when running micro-diameter drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 68\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0310 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Fractional Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/32 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 130 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3950 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HARVEY TOOL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20245\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HARVEY TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51733656207666,"sku":"20245","price":32.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/45484e9865a76a31bb8dc0d15db6b00e_abf4ad18-a67a-4e76-bbd4-6f245d877bc0.jpg?v=1788757584","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/harvey-tool-20245-micro-drill-bit-no-68-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
