Ford. 20617700 Carbide Screw Machine Drill Bit","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD. 20617700 is a solid carbide screw machine length drill bit designed for high-precision drilling in demanding industrial and machining applications. With a 0.177 inch (Wire Size 16) diameter and a 118-degree faceted point angle, this bit delivers clean, accurate entry in a wide range of workpiece materials. The bright\/uncoated finish suits applications where coating is not required or where carbide hardness alone meets the job. The short-length geometry provides added rigidity, reducing deflection and improving hole accuracy in production environments. It is installed and used by machinists, tool and die technicians, and CNC operators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for use on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and carbon steel. The screw machine length profile is commonly specified for drill press, CNC machining center, and turret lathe applications where a stubby, rigid tool is preferred over jobber-length bits. The two-flute spiral design with a parallel web and web-thinned point supports efficient chip evacuation and reduced thrust force at entry. It fits standard straight-shank toolholders and collets sized for 0.177 inch shanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree faceted point angle with web thinning for reduced entry thrust and improved centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect tolerance-critical hole diameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, two-flute spiral design for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank at 0.177 inches for direct collet or chuck mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort screw machine length (2.125 inches overall) for maximum rigidity and minimal deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit option for Series 206 screw machine length carbide drill bits with a 0.177 inch diameter and straight-cylindrical shank, suitable for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and turret lathes accepting standard straight-shank toolholding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed by machinists or CNC operators into a compatible collet, drill chuck, or toolholder rated for the 0.177 inch shank diameter. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Verify runout and toolholder concentricity before use to protect the carbide cutting edges, which are more brittle than high-speed steel and sensitive to side-loading. Carbide drills should not be used in hand-drill applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.177 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 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: 0.177 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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\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\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\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter 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\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short\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: 20617700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736515182898,"sku":"20617700","price":42.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/01e7b23308cd60a4613f795d9f995e48_e021cfe2-74a9-42c8-821b-344740b3867d.jpg?v=1788778365","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20617700-carbide-screw-machine-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
