M.a. Ford. 20411600 Jobber Length Drill Bit Size 32

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 20411600 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit in wire gauge size 32, equivalent to 0.1160 inches in decimal. It features a 118-degree faceted point angle and a two-flute regular spiral configuration for efficient chip evacuation. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose drilling applications across a range of materials. With an overall length of 2.25 inches and a flute length of 1.25 inches, this bit is dimensioned for jobber-standard reach. The straight-cylindrical shank diameter matches the 0.1160-inch drill diameter. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors, as well as machinists and fabricators, reach for this bit when tight tolerances and consistent hole geometry are required in production or maintenance settings.

This drill bit is suited for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. The web-thinned, tapered-web geometry reduces thrust force at the point, which is particularly useful in harder materials like stainless steel. It is rated for general-purpose tool performance and carries a 5xD flute-by-diameter ratio, making it appropriate for standard-depth holes in both manual and CNC-driven spindles across light manufacturing, fabrication shops, and mechanical service environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 118-degree faceted point for accurate self-starting without center punching on most materials
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces drilling thrust and extends tool life
• Bright uncoated finish maintains sharp edge geometry without coating buildup
• Regular spiral with two flutes promotes consistent chip clearing at jobber lengths
• Diameter tolerance of -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches for precise, repeatable hole sizing

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill chucks and CNC spindles accepting a 0.1160-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, and steel workpieces as noted in the M.A. FORD. Series 204 general-purpose product line.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by a qualified machinist or mechanical tradesperson familiar with cutting tool safety. Secure the straight shank firmly in a compatible chuck before operation and verify runout is within acceptable limits. Do not exceed the recommended feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and remove the bit from service if chipping or wear is observed, as solid carbide is brittle under lateral loading.
