M.a. Ford 20450000 Carbide Jobber Drill Bit 1/2 Inches

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 20450000 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit designed for precision hole-making in demanding industrial and trade applications. Built to Series 204 specifications, it features a 1/2 inch diameter, a 118-degree faceted point angle, and an overall length of 4-3/4 inches. The spiral flute geometry with web thinning and a tapered web configuration promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces thrust during entry. The bright, uncoated finish is suited for dry cutting or use with external coolant. This bit is intended for use by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance trades working with high-accuracy drilling requirements.

The 20450000 is a general-purpose drill bit rated for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. The 3-inch flute length and 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio make it appropriate for moderate-depth holes in production and maintenance settings. Its straight-cylindrical shank accepts standard drill chucks on drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held power drills. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional clockwise spindle rotation.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this bit should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with rotary cutting tools. Secure the shank fully in a properly rated drill chuck and verify chuck runout is within acceptable limits before use. Disengage power and bring the spindle to a complete stop before changing bits or inspecting the cutting edge. Do not exceed the recommended spindle speed for the workpiece material and bit diameter.
