Built from solid carbide with a bright\/uncoated finish, this bit measures 0.1875 inches in diameter with an overall length of 2-3\/16 inches and a flute length of 1-1\/8 inches. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and allows faster penetration with less feed pressure. A slow spiral flute geometry and web-thinned, parallel web configuration help evacuate chips efficiently. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. This bit is suited for machinists, fabricators, and maintenance professionals working with precision drilling setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw machine length drill bit is built for close-tolerance drilling in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. The compact screw machine length profile is well suited for drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual lathes where clearance is limited and rigidity is critical. The 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports stable cutting in short-reach setups. A right-hand cut and two-flute spiral configuration make this bit a standard choice for production drilling and precision hole work across metalworking and fabrication trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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 reduces thrust force and minimizes bit walking on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned parallel web improves chip clearance and cutting efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine length profile provides added rigidity over jobber-length bits in constrained setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy without coating buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches ensures close-fit hole quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, and steel workpieces.

Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and verify runout is within acceptable limits for the application. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling. Solid carbide bits are brittle compared to high-speed steel — avoid side loading, interrupted cuts without proper feed rate adjustment, or dropping the bit on hard surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches (3\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches\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\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\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 Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\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, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\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 Material\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\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 20518750\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739239285042,"sku":"20518750","price":54.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f08e4cc86bc9f13b401ef4fe0fdfc632_1e04abab-6d9c-47ef-9b2b-77a3b3a5a9d9.jpg?v=1788811946","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20518750-screw-machine-drill-bit-3-16-in-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
