Built from solid carbide with a coated finish, this bit measures 0.0312 inches (1\/32 inch) in diameter with an overall length of 1.5 inches and a flute length of 0.375 inches. The 135-degree split point reduces thrust and self-centers on contact, minimizing walking without a center punch. A slow spiral, two-flute design and web-thinned parallel web configuration improve chip evacuation and cutting efficiency. This tool is handled by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and CNC operators working with close-tolerance bore requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 20503120T is suited for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel in production environments where stub-length rigidity is required. The screw machine length format provides increased stiffness compared to jobber-length bits, making it well-suited for drill presses, CNC machining centers, and turret lathes where deflection must be minimized at small diameters. The straight-cylindrical shank diameter matches the bit diameter at 0.0312 inches, compatible with standard collet chucks and drill chucks sized for 1\/32-inch tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with web thinning for reduced entry thrust and accurate self-centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow spiral, two-flute design optimized for chip flow in deep and interrupted cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine (stub) length at 1.5 inches overall for maximum rigidity at small diameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with straight-cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance held to +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches for close-tolerance bore work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use drill bit for applications requiring 1\/32-inch diameter stub-length carbide tooling in standard collet or drill chuck setups.

Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a properly sized collet or drill chuck before operation to prevent runout. Carbide is brittle  -  avoid side-loading, interrupted feeds, or excessive hand pressure that can cause tip fracture. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle completely before changing or inspecting the bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0312 inches (1\/32 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0312 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parallel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 205\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 20503120T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740601483570,"sku":"20503120T","price":35.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f08e4cc86bc9f13b401ef4fe0fdfc632_e27937f6-a715-4e90-b7a3-ff9e5d4445df.jpg?v=1788826128","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20503120t-screw-machine-drill-bit-0-0312-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
