Ford 20605500 Screw Machine Drill Bit Carbide","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD 20605500 is a solid carbide screw machine length drill bit designed for precision drilling in demanding shop and production environments. With a 0.055 inch diameter (wire size #54) and a 118-degree faceted drill point, it delivers accurate, clean entry into tight-tolerance workpieces. The bright\/uncoated finish suits direct use or post-treatment applications. At 1.5 inches overall length with a 0.375 inch flute length, this short-length geometry provides rigidity and reduces deflection. Right-hand spiral flutes efficiently evacuate chips during drilling operations. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel across a range of production and repair applications. Its screw machine length profile makes it a practical choice for drill press and CNC work where stub-length rigidity is needed. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification. Web-thinned geometry reduces thrust force at the point, easing penetration in harder alloys and tightly toleranced setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree faceted point for accurate self-starting entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, parallel web configuration reduces axial thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish compatible with post-coating if required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance held to +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches for precision fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a screw machine length drill bit in the M.A. FORD Series 206 for use in materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, and steel with a diameter range covering 0.0000 to 0.1000 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of small-diameter carbide drill bits should be performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a compatible drill chuck rated for the intended spindle speed before operation. Carbide tooling is brittle and susceptible to chipping from side loading or improper seating; inspect the shank and chuck taper for debris before clamping. Always power down and de-energize the machine before changing tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: #54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0550 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: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Faceted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 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: 0.0550 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\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short (Screw Machine Length)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\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\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 Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal, Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 206\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 20605500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731187990834,"sku":"20605500","price":21.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/01e7b23308cd60a4613f795d9f995e48_8c1de7c8-438a-4f64-8ff7-c5cc3fa5a893.jpg?v=1788728106","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20605500-screw-machine-drill-bit-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
