M.a. Ford 20465620 Solid Carbide Jobber Drill Bit 21/32

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 20465620 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit designed for precision hole-making in demanding industrial and trade applications. With a 21/32-inch diameter (0.6562 inches decimal) and a 118-degree faceted drill point angle, it delivers clean entry and controlled chip evacuation. The bright, uncoated finish preserves the carbide substrate for maximum hardness and edge retention. At 5.5 inches overall length with a 3.625-inch flute length, it fits standard drill chucks and CNC setups without adapters. Two spiral flutes with a regular helix and web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduce thrust and improve chip flow. This bit is suited for machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and trades requiring repeatable tight-tolerance drilling.

The 20465620 is built for general-purpose drilling across a broad range of workpiece materials, including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and carbon steel. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports applications where moderate depth-to-diameter drilling is required. Right-hand cut with a straight cylindrical shank, this bit seats directly into Jacobs-style chucks or collet holders. It is appropriate for both manual drill presses and CNC machining centers operating within standard feeds and speeds for solid carbide tooling. The Series 204 designation identifies it within M.A. FORD's general-purpose carbide drill lineup.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 118-degree faceted drill point with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• Bright uncoated finish suited for general-purpose and non-coated-sensitive applications
• Right-hand cut, 2-flute regular spiral design for effective chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard chucks and collet holders
• Diameter tolerance held to -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches for consistent hole sizing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid carbide jobber drill for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. Compatible with standard drill press chucks and CNC tool holders accepting a 21/32-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling professional. Ensure the drill press or machining center spindle is fully stopped and de-energized before loading or removing the bit. Verify chuck or collet tightness before operation and confirm workpiece is securely clamped. Do not exceed the recommended feed and speed parameters for solid carbide tooling in the target workpiece material.
