Built from solid carbide, this bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking at entry and lowers thrust force required at the spindle. A slow-spiral flute geometry supports chip evacuation in deep holes for its diameter class. The wire gauge size 56 corresponds to a decimal diameter of 0.0465 inches, with a total overall length of 1.5 inches and a flute length of 0.5 inches. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.0465 inches in diameter with a shank length of 1 inch. Diameter tolerance is held to plus 0.0000 and minus 0.0005 inches for consistent, repeatable hole size. The bright uncoated finish suits applications where coating adhesion or contamination is a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is well suited for drilling in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, high-temperature alloys, and hardened materials. The screw machine length body keeps the tool short and rigid, making it a standard choice for drill press, CNC, and turret lathe operations where stub-length tools are preferred for reduced runout and improved hole location accuracy. The 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio and web-thinned geometry support performance in both production and maintenance-repair environments. This bit is sold and packaged individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and hardened workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces drill walk and lowers entry thrust force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow spiral flute promotes controlled chip evacuation at small diameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned design reduces cutting resistance and extends tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine length body provides maximum rigidity and minimal deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of plus 0.0000 to minus 0.0005 inches for consistent hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a screw machine length replacement or production drill bit for use in standard straight-shank drill chucks and collet holders accepting a 0.0465-inch shank diameter, suitable for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, high-temperature alloys, and hardened materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed by a machinist or toolroom technician into any straight-shank chuck or collet system with appropriate bore clearance for a 0.0465-inch shank. Ensure the spindle and workholding device are fully stopped and de-energized before inserting or removing the bit. At this diameter, solid carbide is brittle — avoid side loading, interrupted cuts without proper feeds, or drops onto hard surfaces. Verify runout at the spindle before production use to maintain diameter tolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 56\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0465 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slow Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0465 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.0000 to minus 0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Aluminum and Non-Ferrous, High-Temp Alloy, Hardened Materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.004 pounds\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: 20504650\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736078418226,"sku":"20504650","price":32.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f08e4cc86bc9f13b401ef4fe0fdfc632_ce2c9f7d-c395-4b88-9fcb-27d9704c2ed0.jpg?v=1788775781","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20504650-drill-bit-size-56-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
