M.a. Ford 20611100 Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.111 in

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 20611100 is a screw machine length (stub length) drill bit engineered for precision drilling in demanding shop and field applications. Ground from solid carbide, this bit delivers the hardness and wear resistance required when cutting cast iron, stainless steel, carbon steel, and non-ferrous metals. The 118-degree faceted point promotes accurate starting without a center punch on most materials. At 2.0 inches overall length with a 5/8-inch flute, the short-body design provides added rigidity and reduced deflection in tight-clearance drilling operations. Machinists, tool-and-die techs, and metalworking professionals use this bit in CNC drill presses, turret lathes, and screw machine setups where runout control and hole tolerance matter.

This drill bit is suited for short-hole drilling operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces in production and job-shop environments. Its 0.111-inch diameter with a straight-cylindrical shank of matching 0.111-inch diameter seats directly in standard drill chucks and collet systems without adapters. The bright uncoated finish is well matched to applications where coolant is not available and where regrinding or inspection of the cutting edge is required after use. This is a single-piece unit, sold individually.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 118-degree faceted drill point for accurate self-starting and clean entry
• Web-thinned parallel web reduces thrust load and improves chip evacuation
• Short screw machine length body (2.0 inches overall) maximizes rigidity and minimizes deflection
• Bright uncoated finish — easy to inspect and regrind; no coating to compromise dimensional tolerance
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix for consistent chip flow on a wide range of metals

Compatibility

Designed for use on primary workpiece materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, and carbon steel. Fits standard drill chucks and collet holders accepting a 0.111-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Part of M.A. FORD Series 206 screw machine length carbide drill bits in the 0.1000 to 0.1500 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and verify runout with a dial indicator when tolerance is critical. Coolant-through capability is not available on this bit; apply external cutting fluid as needed based on workpiece material. Follow all machine guarding and PPE requirements per applicable shop safety standards.
