M.a. Ford 20403120A Jobber Drill 1/32 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 20403120A is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit designed for precision drilling in demanding trade and industrial applications. It features a 1/32 inch (0.0312 inch) diameter with a 118-degree four-facet point and an ALtima/Titanium Nitride (TiN) combination coating that reduces friction and extends tool life. The two-flute right-hand spiral design with web thinning promotes clean chip evacuation and accurate hole entry. With an overall length of 1.5 inches and a 3/8 inch flute length, this bit suits close-tolerance work in tight spaces. It is a general-purpose tool installed by machinists, HVAC fabricators, pipefitters, and electricians working with hard or abrasive materials.

This drill bit is rated for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel, making it appropriate for a wide range of trade applications including metal fabrication, mechanical system installation, and precision hole drilling in structural and sheet components. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification. The Series 204 designation identifies it within M.A. FORD's jobber drill line, and the 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports stable cutting at this small diameter. It does not include coolant-through capability and is intended for general-purpose use without high-pressure coolant delivery systems.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• ALtima/TiN coating reduces heat buildup and extends cutting edge life
• 118-degree four-facet point with web thinning for accurate, self-centering entry
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute design promotes efficient chip removal
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing for consistent dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. Compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a 1/32 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for general-purpose drilling applications as part of the M.A. FORD Series 204 jobber drill line.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed and used by machinists, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and electricians performing metal drilling tasks. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a properly sized drill chuck before operation. At this small diameter, use low feed pressure and appropriate RPM to avoid bit deflection or breakage. Solid carbide bits are brittle and should not be used in hand-held drills where lateral forces cannot be controlled.
