M.a. Ford 20419600 Solid Carbide Jobber Drill Bit No. 9

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 20419600 is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit in No. 9 wire size (0.1960 inch diameter), designed for precision drilling in demanding materials. Ground to a 118-degree faceted point with web thinning for reduced thrust and cleaner entry, this bit runs a regular spiral flute pattern with a 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.1960 inch and seats securely in standard drill chucks. Overall length is 3.0 inches with a 1.75-inch flute length. Diameter tolerance is held to -0.0005 to 0.0000 inch, making it suitable where hole location and size accuracy matter. This bit is used by machinists and maintenance technicians working in production and general-purpose drilling environments.

The 20419600 is rated for general-purpose drilling across a range of workpiece materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. Its solid carbide construction provides the rigidity and wear resistance needed in harder or abrasive materials where high-speed steel tooling falls short. The bright uncoated finish keeps the bit compatible with standard cutting fluids and coolant strategies. This is a hand-held or machine-spindle bit appropriate for drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand drills where a No. 9 wire gauge hole is required.

Compatibility

Rated for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. Fits any standard drill chuck or collet accepting a 0.1960-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Part of the M.A. FORD Series 204 jobber-length solid carbide drill line.

Installation Notes

Installation and use by a machinist or trained technician is recommended. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and verify runout is within acceptable limits for the application. Do not exceed the recommended surface footage for the workpiece material and bit diameter. This bit does not support coolant-through delivery - apply cutting fluid externally as needed per shop practice.
