Ford 20404200 Jobber Drill Bit 58 Wire Solid Carbide","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD 20404200 is a jobber-length drill bit sized to wire gauge 58 (0.0420 inches decimal), ground from solid carbide stock with a bright, uncoated finish. It runs a standard 118-degree faceted point with web thinning to improve penetration at entry, and a two-flute regular spiral geometry optimized for chip evacuation. Overall length is 1.5 inches with a 0.75-inch flute length and a straight-cylindrical shank. Solid carbide construction gives this bit the rigidity and edge retention needed when drilling small-diameter holes in abrasive or hard materials. It is a general-purpose tool manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified processes and rated for the Series 204 product line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for precision drilling in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and general steel stock. Its compact jobber length and small decimal diameter make it a common choice for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-held operations where tight tolerances and consistent hole sizing in the 0.0420-inch range are required. The web-thinned, faceted point reduces thrust load, which is especially valuable when drilling stainless or hardened ferrous material at this diameter. No coolant-through capability is built in, so external coolant or dry operation applies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree faceted point with web thinning to reduce entry thrust and improve centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose applications across multiple workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo-flute regular spiral geometry promotes consistent chip evacuation in small-diameter holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance held to -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches for precise, repeatable hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing for dimensional and quality consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for general-purpose drilling in cast iron, non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, and steel workpieces.

Ensure the machine spindle and chuck are fully stopped and de-energized before inserting or removing the bit. At this diameter, use the lowest feed rate and appropriate RPM for the workpiece material to prevent bit breakage; consult the machine manufacturer and tooling guidelines for recommended cutting parameters. External coolant or cutting fluid is recommended when drilling stainless steel or hardened ferrous stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 58\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0420 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0420 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral (Regular)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Faceted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal, Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 204\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO 9001:2015 Certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: M.A. FORD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20404200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743084446002,"sku":"20404200","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3443583573f8dad1c3555b01a59849af_0f505b61-dfd9-4cb2-a07f-e1a2045a6016.jpg?v=1788842453","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20404200-jobber-drill-bit-58-wire-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
