Ford. 20508600C Drill Bit No. 44 0.0860 in Solid Carbide","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD. 20508600C is a screw machine length drill bit designed for precision drilling in tight-clearance applications. Built from solid carbide, it features a 135-degree split point with web thinning to reduce thrust and improve centering accuracy. The bit measures 0.0860 inches in diameter (No. 44 wire gauge) with an overall length of 1.75 inches and a flute length of 0.75 inches. A slow spiral, two-flute geometry promotes chip evacuation in the materials this bit is rated for. Right-hand cut orientation and a straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders used in production and maintenance machining environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. Its screw machine length profile is shorter than jobber-length bits, providing increased rigidity and reduced deflection when working on drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual lathes with turret tooling. It is a common choice for machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance professionals who need repeatable hole quality in small-diameter applications. The 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports controlled chip flow without excessive flute length that would compromise stiffness at this diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with web thinning reduces walking and lowers required feed force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine length body increases rigidity and minimizes deflection at 0.0860 inch diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow spiral flute geometry promotes chip control in cast iron and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance held to +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches for consistent hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard straight-shank drill chucks and collet holders accepting a 0.0860-inch shank diameter.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Solid carbide tooling is brittle and should not be subjected to side loading or intermittent contact with interrupted cuts without verifying the setup is rigid. Use the manufacturer-recommended speeds and feeds for the specific workpiece material to avoid premature edge failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0860 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0860 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\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\u003eFlute By Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Margins\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\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\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0042 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: 20508600C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740744253746,"sku":"20508600C","price":39.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f08e4cc86bc9f13b401ef4fe0fdfc632_25bd3ba0-49ea-4e2b-aa1f-24c7f3c129e3.jpg?v=1788827131","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20508600c-drill-bit-no-44-0-0860-in-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
