M.a. Ford 20415620 Solid Carbide Jobber Drill Bit 5/32 in

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 20415620 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding materials. Built to Series 204 specifications, this 5/32-inch diameter bit features a 118-degree faceted point and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces entry force and improves chip evacuation. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose applications where coolant is not routed through the tool. With a 2-flute spiral flute design and a regular spiral type, this bit delivers consistent chip removal. Licensed trades and machinists working in fabrication, maintenance, and mechanical contracting rely on tools like this for precision hole-making in production and field settings.

This drill bit is rated for primary workpiece materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel, making it a versatile option across metal fabrication, HVAC equipment assembly, plumbing fixture work, and electrical panel manufacturing. The straight-cylindrical shank at 5/32 inch fits standard drill chucks without modification. The overall length of 2.5 inches and flute length of 1.375 inches position this as a compact, controllable tool suited for tight clearances and repetitive production drilling. It is a general-purpose grade bit rated at a 5xD flute-by-diameter ratio.

Key Features

• 118-degree faceted point with web thinning for reduced thrust and cleaner entry
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose use without coolant-through requirements
• Right-hand cut, 2-flute spiral design promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank at 5/32 inch fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing for consistent dimensional tolerance

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill chucks accepting a 5/32-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Rated for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and carbon steel in general-purpose machining and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with cutting tool operation and machine safety. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a calibrated drill chuck before operation, and verify spindle speed is appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter. Do not exceed the rated application materials or use with coolant-through setups, as this bit does not support through-tool coolant delivery. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or wear is observed.
