M.a. Ford 20475000 Solid Carbide Jobber Drill Bit 3/4 Inches

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 20475000 is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding trade and industrial applications. Built to Series 204 specifications, it features a 3/4-inch diameter, a 118-degree faceted point angle, and a 5-3/4-inch overall length. The bright uncoated finish is standard for solid carbide tooling where coating is not required. Web-thinned geometry with a tapered web configuration reduces thrust force at the point, improving penetration and chip evacuation. With a regular spiral and 2-flute design, this bit delivers reliable, repeatable results in metalworking environments. It is installed and used by machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, and fabrication technicians working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

This drill bit is suited for drilling cast iron, stainless steel, carbon steel, and non-ferrous metals in general-purpose machining operations. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and compatible toolholders. The 5xD flute-by-diameter ratio provides adequate chip clearance for typical jobber-length applications in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual lathes. It carries ISO 9001:2015 certification, confirming the manufacturing quality standard behind the tool. This bit is appropriate for both production environments and job-shop use where carbide-grade tooling is specified.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive workpiece materials
• 118-degree faceted drill point with web-thinning for reduced thrust and improved centering
• Regular spiral, 2-flute design with 3-7/8-inch flute length for effective chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank at 3/4 inch diameter for compatibility with standard drill chucks
• Bright uncoated finish; diameter tolerance held to -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches
• ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing process

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length carbide drill bit compatible with standard 3/4-inch drill chucks and toolholders. Rated for primary workpiece materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel (material codes K, M, N, P).

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or trade technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before installing or changing the bit in any drill chuck or toolholder. Verify chuck jaw condition and confirm proper shank seating before beginning a cut. Consult the machine manufacturer's specifications and applicable shop safety standards for appropriate speeds and feeds when drilling with solid carbide tooling.
