M.a. Ford. 20030000 Carbide Drill Bit Set 10 Pc

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 20030000 is a 10-piece solid carbide screw machine length drill bit set designed for metalworking and multipurpose drilling applications. Screw machine length bits are shorter than jobber-length bits, which reduces deflection and improves hole accuracy in tight setups or rigid fixtures. The set covers ten fractional inch sizes ranging from 1/16 inch to 3/16 inch in 1/64-inch step increments. All bits feature a 135-degree split-point angle for self-centering entry without a center punch. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose use across a wide range of metals. Licensed machinists, tool and die technicians, and general metalworking shops are the primary users of this set.

This set is built for metalworking environments where short, stiff drill geometry keeps runout low. Typical applications include drilling in steel, aluminum, cast iron, and similar materials on drill presses, milling machines, and CNC setups. The screw machine length design makes these bits practical in low-clearance fixtures and close-tolerance work. The included plastic storage case keeps all ten bits organized and protected between uses. The straight shank accommodates standard drill chucks across most bench and machine tool configurations.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction delivers hardness and wear resistance for metalworking applications
• 135-degree standard split-point angle reduces walking and improves entry accuracy
• Screw machine length geometry minimizes deflection in rigid setups
• Ten sizes from 1/16 inch to 3/16 inch in 1/64-inch increments cover common fractional drilling needs
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for dry cutting and general-purpose metalworking
• Plastic storage case included for organized storage of all 10 bits

Compatibility

Designed as OEM-style replacement or standard-stock tooling for straight-shank drill chucks used in metalworking drill presses, milling machines, and CNC machining centers requiring fractional inch screw machine length carbide bits.

Installation Notes

Install solid carbide drill bits only in rigid setups such as drill presses, mills, or CNC spindles. Hand drills and flex-shaft tools are not recommended because carbide is brittle and susceptible to breakage from lateral loading. Ensure the chuck is clean and the shank is fully seated before tightening. Power down and lockout the machine before changing bits.
