M.a. Ford. 20403200 Carbide Drill Bit No. 67 0.0320 in

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 20403200 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit in wire gauge size No. 67, with a decimal diameter of 0.0320 inches. It features a 118-degree faceted drill point and a two-flute right-hand spiral configuration. The overall length is 1.5 inches with a flute length of 0.375 inches. Designed for general-purpose drilling in demanding materials, this bit is suited for use in production machining, tool rooms, and maintenance environments where small-diameter hole quality is critical. The straight-cylindrical shank allows direct chuck mounting in standard drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held power tools.

This drill bit is rated for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and carbon or alloy steel. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports chip evacuation in deeper hole applications relative to the bit diameter. The bright uncoated finish makes it well suited for shops that re-sharpen or inspect tools frequently, as wear patterns are easy to identify. It is a general-purpose choice for machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with small-diameter precision holes.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive workpiece materials
• Wire gauge No. 67 size at 0.0320 inches decimal diameter with a diameter tolerance of -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches
• 118-degree faceted point with web-thinned, tapered web geometry for reduced thrust and improved centering
• Two-flute regular spiral design supports chip clearance and consistent cutting action
• Bright uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection and is compatible with standard resharpening workflows
• ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or production-use drill bit for applications requiring wire gauge No. 67 diameter holes in cast iron, non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. Compatible with any standard straight-shank chuck rated for 0.0320-inch shank diameters.

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 straight-cylindrical shank fully in a properly sized collet or chuck before operation to prevent runout. Carbide tooling is brittle and susceptible to breakage from side loading, excessive feed rates, or interrupted cuts without proper fixturing. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed and feed rate settings appropriate to the workpiece material and bit diameter.
