Ford 20417700 Carbide Jobber Drill Bit No. 16","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD 20417700 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit in wire gauge size No. 16, equivalent to 0.1770 inches in decimal. It features a 118-degree faceted point angle with a web-thinned, tapered web for cleaner entry and reduced thrust. The spiral flute design in a regular helix promotes efficient chip evacuation during drilling. With an overall length of 2.75 inches and a flute length of 1.625 inches, this bit is sized for general-purpose drilling operations. The bright uncoated finish is standard for solid carbide tooling used in applications where coating adhesion or heat buildup is not a primary concern. Licensed machinists, tool and die techs, and maintenance professionals are the primary installers of this tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is rated for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. It carries a 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio, making it well suited for moderate-depth hole applications in these material categories. The straight-cylindrical shank at 0.1770 inches diameter is compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems used in CNC drilling centers, drill presses, and hand-held drilling equipment. It is manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified processes and falls within the Series 204 product line from M.A. FORD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree faceted point with web-thinned tapered web for reduced entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular spiral flute design promotes consistent chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish  -  no coating delamination risk in interrupted cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, 2-flute configuration standard for general-purpose drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured to ISO 9001:2015 quality standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard drill chucks and collet holders accepting a 0.1770-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Ensure the drill chuck or collet is clean, properly seated, and rated for the spindle speed being applied before use. Solid carbide is brittle compared to high-speed steel  -  avoid side loading, interrupted cuts without proper setup, and re-chucking in worn or out-of-round holders. Always verify workpiece clamping is secure before initiating a drilling cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1770 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\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: Faceted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular Helix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1770 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute By Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO 9001:2015 Certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 20417700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743915278642,"sku":"20417700","price":55.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3443583573f8dad1c3555b01a59849af_ee36b16a-32db-4192-b88c-54ddbc2d851d.jpg?v=1788851202","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20417700-carbide-jobber-drill-bit-no-16","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
