Designed for short-reach, high-precision drilling applications, this Series 206 bit features a bright\/uncoated finish and a two-flute regular spiral configuration. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.154 inches in diameter and 1.375 inches in length, with an overall length of 2.0 inches and a flute length of 0.625 inches. Web thinning with a parallel web configuration reduces thrust load and improves chip evacuation. Right-hand cut geometry makes it compatible with standard drill chucks and CNC spindles. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and precision fabricators working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials will find this bit well suited to close-tolerance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is intended for use in machine shop, production drilling, and precision fabrication environments. Primary workpiece materials include cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. The screw machine length format — shorter than jobber length — provides greater rigidity and reduced deflection when drilling in drill presses, lathes, CNC machining centers, or manual milling machines. The 3xD flute-by-diameter ratio supports controlled chip removal in short-reach bores. Solid carbide construction maintains cutting edge integrity at elevated spindle speeds and in hard or abrasive materials where high-speed steel bits would wear prematurely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for durability in hard and abrasive workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree faceted point angle with web thinning for reduced entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine (short) length provides increased rigidity and minimized deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, two-flute regular spiral for standard chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of plus 0.0000 to minus 0.0005 inches for close-tolerance hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the bit from the chuck or collet. Carbide is brittle — avoid dropping the bit or using it in hand-held drills where lateral loading can cause chipping or fracture. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material and verify spindle speed recommendations for the diameter and material before operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.154 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: #23\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.154 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\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\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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parallel Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short (Screw Machine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.0000 to minus 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 Materials\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\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: 20615400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753527705906,"sku":"20615400","price":32.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/01e7b23308cd60a4613f795d9f995e48_13ccb9f5-74e2-4340-bd71-9abfa5f74bfd.jpg?v=1788937787","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20615400-carbide-screw-machine-drill-bit-0-154-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
