M.a. Ford 20609350 Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.0935 in

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 20609350 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for precision drilling in demanding shop and production environments. Ground from solid carbide, this bit delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required when working with cast iron, stainless steel, carbon steel, and non-ferrous metals. It carries a wire gauge size of 42, corresponding to a decimal diameter of 0.0935 inches. The two-flute spiral design with a 118-degree faceted point provides accurate entry and clean chip evacuation. The bright, uncoated finish suits applications where coating buildup or heat interaction is a concern. Machinists, tool and die makers, and CNC operators are the primary users.

This bit fits short-hole, screw machine length drilling operations in production machining, job shop, and maintenance environments. The compact flute length of 0.5 inches and overall length of 2 inches make it well suited for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and screw machine setups where rigidity and minimal runout are critical. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly in standard collets and drill chucks without additional tooling adapters. Primary workpiece materials include cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel.

Key Features

• Wire size 42 diameter of 0.0935 inches with a tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches
• 118-degree faceted drill point for accurate self-centering entry
• Two-flute regular spiral with web-thinned parallel web for efficient chip removal
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with a broad range of cutting fluids and workpiece materials
• Straight cylindrical shank measuring 0.0935 inches in diameter with a 1.5-inch shank length

Compatibility

Designed for use with cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. Fits standard collet chucks and drill chucks accepting a straight cylindrical shank of 0.0935 inches. Part of M.A. FORD Series 206 screw machine length carbide drill bits.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with carbide tooling requirements. Secure the shank fully in a matched collet or drill chuck to minimize runout before operation. Carbide is brittle compared to high-speed steel — avoid side loading, interrupted cuts without proper feed adjustment, or dropping the bit on hard surfaces. Follow your machine tool manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed and feed rate when drilling the specified workpiece materials.
