M.a. Ford. 20010000 Carbide Drill Bit Set 5 Pc

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 20010000 is a 5-piece solid carbide screw machine length drill bit set designed for metalworking and multipurpose drilling applications. The set covers fractional sizes from 1/8 inch through 3/8 inch in 1/16-inch step increments, using straight shanks and a 135-degree split point geometry. Solid carbide construction delivers hardness and heat resistance well above high-speed steel, making this set appropriate for production-level drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The bright/uncoated finish is standard for carbide and maintains tight dimensional tolerance at the cutting edge.

This set is suited for machine shop, fabrication, and maintenance environments where consistent, repeatable hole quality in metal is required. Screw machine length bits are shorter than jobber length, providing increased rigidity and reduced deflection in drill press, CNC, and benchtop machine setups. The five sizes included cover the most common fractional drill demands in light to heavy-duty metalworking tasks. The bits ship in a plastic storage case that indexes each size separately for quick identification on the job.

Key Features

• Solid carbide tool material for superior hardness and wear resistance versus HSS
• 135-degree standard split point reduces walking and improves chip evacuation
• Screw machine length design increases rigidity and minimizes deflection
• Five fractional sizes: 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8 inch in one set
• Bright/uncoated finish maintains cutting edge geometry without coating buildup
• Plastic indexed storage case keeps bits organized and protected between uses

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard straight-shank drill chucks on drill presses, CNC machining centers, and benchtop machines used in metalworking and multipurpose drilling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tradesperson familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and confirm the drill chuck is tightened properly on the straight shank before operation. Solid carbide is brittle compared to HSS - avoid side loading, interrupted cuts without proper setup, and dropping bits on hard surfaces. Power down and lock out the machine before changing bits.
