M.a. Ford. 20401350 Solid Carbide Jobber Drill Bit 80

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 20401350 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit in wire gauge size 80, measuring 0.0135 inches in diameter. It features a 118-degree faceted point angle and a regular spiral flute design with web thinning for improved chip evacuation and point strength. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. At 1.5 inches overall length with a 0.25-inch flute length, this bit is sized for precision small-diameter drilling in tight spaces. It is intended for use by machinists, tool and die technicians, and other trade professionals requiring tight-tolerance drilling in hard or abrasive workpiece materials.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and carbon steel. The solid carbide construction handles harder materials and higher cutting speeds than high-speed steel alternatives. Typical applications include pilot hole drilling, circuit board work, small-bore machining, and precision fabrication where a wire gauge 80 diameter is specified. It is sold individually and carries an ISO 9001:2015 certification backing the manufacturing process.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style jobber length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks, collet holders, and CNC spindles accepting a 0.0135-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with small-diameter carbide tooling. Secure the shank fully in a properly sized collet or chuck before operation to prevent runout or breakage. Carbide is brittle - avoid side loading, interrupted cuts without proper feed control, or dropping the bit on hard surfaces. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed and feed rate selection.
