Built to Series 204 specifications, it features a 118-degree faceted point, a web-thinned and tapered web configuration, and a regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 7\/16 inches in diameter, matching the cutting diameter for straightforward chuck mounting. At 4.5 inches overall length with a 2.875-inch flute, this bit delivers the reach and cutting depth expected in a standard jobber-length tool. Bright uncoated carbide construction is suited for applications where coating adhesion or heat buildup is a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is rated for general-purpose drilling in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. It is appropriate for use in machine shop environments, fabrication, and maintenance applications where a reliable carbide bit is needed across a range of workpiece materials. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports stable chip removal in both manual and CNC-fed drilling setups. Right-hand cut configuration is standard for conventional drill press, lathe turret, and machining center use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree faceted point with web thinning for reduced thrust and improved centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral flute with regular helix for consistent chip evacuation in a variety of metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish  -  no coating buildup concerns in sensitive or non-ferrous workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7\/16-inch straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing for dimensional consistency and quality assurance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. Compatible with standard drill chucks, drill presses, lathes, and CNC machining centers accepting a 7\/16-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for general-purpose drilling within the 0.4000 to 0.5000 inch diameter range category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit should be installed and operated by a qualified machinist or tooling professional. Ensure the machine spindle and chuck are fully stopped and de-energized before inserting or removing the bit. Secure the shank firmly in the chuck to the full depth of the jaws to prevent slippage during drilling. Solid carbide tooling is brittle  -  avoid side-loading, interrupted cuts without appropriate feed rates, or dropping the tool on hard surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16 inches (0.4375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\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\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 204\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO 9001:2015 Certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 20443750\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51741415571762,"sku":"20443750","price":196.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3443583573f8dad1c3555b01a59849af_ef460e05-83eb-4586-8e1c-a160e4f10496.jpg?v=1788831383","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20443750-solid-carbide-jobber-drill-bit-7-16-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
