M.a. Ford 20415700 Carbide Jobber Drill Bit No. 22

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 20415700 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit in wire gauge size No. 22, measuring 0.1570 inches in diameter. It features a 118-degree faceted point with web thinning for improved entry and reduced thrust. The spiral flute geometry is a regular type with a 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio, providing efficient chip evacuation. Overall length is 2.5 inches with a flute length of 1.375 inches. The bright uncoated finish and straight-cylindrical shank make this bit compatible with standard drill chucks. It is designed for general purpose drilling applications across a range of metallic workpiece materials.

This drill bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and carbon steel. It fits into CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-held power tools with appropriate collets or chucks. The two-flute right-hand cut design is a standard configuration used by machinists, tool-and-die shops, and general fabrication operations. Its compact jobber length makes it practical for close-tolerance work where a longer bit would introduce runout or deflection concerns.
