With a 15\/64 inch (0.2344 inch decimal) diameter and a 118-degree faceted point angle, it delivers clean, accurate entry in cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, and carbon steel. The bright, uncoated finish suits dry cutting or standard coolant-applied operations. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 1-inch flute length, this short-length geometry provides increased rigidity and reduced deflection versus jobber-length bits. Licensed machinists, tool and die technicians, and precision fabricators are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is built for short-hole drilling operations where rigidity and concentricity are critical. The screw machine length format makes it well-suited for drill press work, CNC machining centers, turret lathes, and manual mill setups where workpiece clearance is tight. The 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports chip evacuation in shallow-to-moderate depth holes. Applications include production drilling in cast iron components, stainless steel fabrication, and non-ferrous structural parts. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in standard ER collets, drill chucks, and toolholders without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for high rigidity and heat resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree faceted drill point with web thinning for reduced thrust and cleaner hole entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish compatible with dry cutting and standard flood coolant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute geometry promotes consistent chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and ER collets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort screw machine length reduces deflection and improves hole location accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for applications requiring a 15\/64 inch diameter screw machine length drill bit in solid carbide; compatible with any spindle or toolholder accepting a 0.2344 inch straight-cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with carbide tooling procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the machine is in a locked-out state before changing tooling. Carbide tooling is brittle — avoid side-loading, interrupted cuts beyond the material rating, or excessive feed rates that can cause chipping or fracture. Verify shank seating depth and runout with a dial indicator before beginning production cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Fraction)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/64 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2344 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\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\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short (Screw Machine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\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: 0.2344 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\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\u003eDrill Bit Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -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 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\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: 20623440\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51750545031474,"sku":"20623440","price":59.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/01e7b23308cd60a4613f795d9f995e48_e6df0196-c8a8-410e-8030-deacf92125bb.jpg?v=1788916457","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20623440-carbide-screw-machine-drill-bit-15-64","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
