M.a. Ford. 20459380 Jobber Drill Bit 19/32 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 20459380 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit designed for high-precision drilling in demanding materials. It features a 19/32 inch (0.5938 inch) diameter with a 118-degree faceted point angle and a two-flute regular spiral configuration. The straight-cylindrical shank and web-thinned, tapered web design reduce entry resistance and help maintain accurate hole geometry. With an overall length of 5.25 inches and a flute length of 3.5 inches, this bit is built for jobber-length applications in production and maintenance environments. Licensed tradespeople and machinist technicians working on fabrication, repair, or OEM assembly tasks rely on this Series 204 tool for consistent, repeatable results.

This drill bit is engineered for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and general steel applications. It is suited for CNC machining centers, manual drill presses, and handheld power drilling operations where solid carbide tooling is required for tool life and hole quality. The bright uncoated finish is appropriate for dry or light-fluid cutting conditions. It performs best in general-purpose drilling at speeds and feeds appropriate to solid carbide cutting tools in metal fabrication, HVAC equipment manufacturing, and mechanical service work.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction delivers extended tool life compared to high-speed steel in hard and abrasive materials
• 118-degree faceted drill point with web thinning reduces thrust force and improves self-centering on entry
• Regular spiral, two-flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation in through-hole drilling
• Straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Bright uncoated finish suits general-purpose use without coating-compatibility concerns
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified quality standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. Fits standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a 19/32 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for CNC and manual drilling equipment within the 0.5000 to 0.6500 inch drill bit diameter range of the Series 204 product line.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with carbide tooling. Secure the shank fully in a compatible chuck or collet before operation and confirm runout is within acceptable limits, as carbide is brittle and sensitive to lateral loading. Power down and de-energize all equipment before changing tooling. Do not use this bit in hammer-drill or impact mode, as carbide tooling is not designed for percussive cutting forces.
