The bit measures 3.0 inches overall length with a 1.75-inch spiral flute and a straight-cylindrical shank diameter of 0.2040 inches. Web-thinned construction reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation at entry. The bright uncoated finish keeps the carbide substrate exposed for direct heat reading in production environments. Designed for use by machinists and toolroom technicians drilling precision-diameter holes in demanding base materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and carbon or alloy steel. The regular spiral geometry and 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio make it appropriate for through-hole and blind-hole applications in manual drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held pneumatic drills where consistent hole tolerance is required. Its diameter tolerance of -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches ensures holes fall within tight limits without secondary reaming in many common production scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in abrasive and hard workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree faceted point with web thinning reduces entry thrust and improves centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for dry cutting and coolant-assisted operations where coating adhesion is not required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, regular spiral flute promotes consistent chip evacuation in most drilling orientations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches supports close-tolerance hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing ensures dimensional consistency across production lots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style general-purpose jobber length drill bit for use in standard straight-shank drill chucks on CNC machining centers, drill presses, and pneumatic or electric hand drills accepting 0.2040-inch shank diameter tooling.

Power down the machine and lock out energy sources before changing tooling. Verify chuck runout within acceptable limits to protect the carbide shank from lateral loading, which can cause chipping or breakage. Follow applicable shop safety codes and machine manufacturer guidelines for RPM and feed rate selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2040 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2040 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\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\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO 9001:2015 Certified\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: 20420400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740570550578,"sku":"20420400","price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3443583573f8dad1c3555b01a59849af_7d17236f-b294-447f-a26f-5a6dd6f0b276.jpg?v=1788826009","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20420400-carbide-jobber-drill-bit-no-6","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
