Ford 20404690A Jobber Drill 3\/64 Inch Solid Carbide","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD 20404690A is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit ground to a 118-degree four-facet point with web thinning for fast, accurate entry. It carries an ALtima and Titanium Nitride (TiN) dual coating that extends tool life in abrasive and hard-material applications. The bit measures 3\/64 inch (0.0469 inch decimal) in diameter with an overall length of 1.5 inches and a flute length of 0.75 inches. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without an adapter. Right-hand spiral flutes in a regular helix evacuate chips efficiently at the small diameters where chip packing is a common cause of breakage. This is a general-purpose tooling item intended for machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians working with small-diameter holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 20404690A is suited for drilling cast iron, steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals. Its 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and two-flute geometry make it appropriate for short, through-hole, and shallow-pocket drilling operations on manual mills, CNC machining centers, and benchtop drill presses. The solid carbide substrate combined with the ALtima and TiN coating makes it particularly effective in harder steels and stainless applications where high-speed steel tooling deflects or wears prematurely. No coolant-through capability is present, so external coolant or cutting fluid is recommended when drilling stainless steel or cast iron at higher feed rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance at 0.0469 inch diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eALtima and TiN dual coating reduces friction and extends cutting edge life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree four-facet point with web thinning for self-centering entry and reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand regular spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without a reducer bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing for dimensional consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose OEM-style jobber drill for use in standard drill chucks accepting a 3\/64 inch straight shank.

Carbide tooling at small diameters is brittle  -  avoid side-loading, interrupted cuts without proper feed control, or re-chucking with debris in the collet. Apply cutting fluid or external coolant when drilling stainless steel or cast iron to manage heat buildup at the cutting edge. Inspect the point for chipping before each use; a chipped carbide edge at this diameter will cause immediate deflection or breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter (Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0469 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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Four Facet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALtima and Titanium Nitride (TiN)\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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/64 inches (0.0469 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Treatment\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\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\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\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.001 pounds\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: 20404690A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742962483506,"sku":"20404690A","price":35.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3443583573f8dad1c3555b01a59849af_30a92264-07b5-4c90-94cf-6929d5e741e6.jpg?v=1788840866","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20404690a-jobber-drill-3-64-inch-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
