M.a. Ford 20415200 Solid Carbide Jobber Drill Bit Size 24

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 20415200 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit in wire gauge size 24, with a decimal diameter of 0.1520 inches. It features a 118-degree faceted drill point, a regular spiral flute, and a straight-cylindrical shank sized at 0.1520 inches in diameter. Overall length is 2.5 inches, with a flute length of 1.375 inches. The bright, uncoated finish is suitable for general-purpose drilling applications. This bit is web-thinned with a tapered web configuration, reducing entry resistance and improving chip evacuation. It is designed for use by machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, and precision fabricators working in production or maintenance environments.

This drill bit is rated for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. Its solid carbide construction handles harder workpiece materials that would wear high-speed steel tooling prematurely. It is well suited for precision hole drilling on drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual lathes where tight tolerances and consistent hole geometry are required. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio provides adequate chip clearance for deeper hole applications in typical jobber-length drilling operations.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive workpiece materials
• 118-degree faceted point for accurate self-centering entry and clean hole geometry
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces thrust force and improves chip flow
• Regular spiral flute with 5xD ratio supports efficient chip evacuation in deeper holes
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and dry cutting setups
• ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing for consistent dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose solid carbide jobber drill bit for use in standard drill press chucks, CNC tool holders, and machining center spindles accepting a 0.1520-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or tooling tradespeople familiar with carbide tooling handling. Carbide bits are brittle and should never be used in applications with lateral side loads or interrupted cuts without proper setup. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation, and verify spindle runout is within acceptable limits to prevent premature chipping. Always follow applicable shop safety standards and machine guarding requirements when operating drilling equipment.
