Built to Series 206 specifications, this bit measures 9\/32 inch (0.2812 inches) in diameter with a 118-degree faceted point angle and a web-thinned geometry that reduces entry thrust and promotes cleaner hole starts. The 2-flute spiral configuration with a parallel web provides consistent chip evacuation. At 2.5 inches overall length, this short-length format offers added rigidity compared to jobber-length bits, making it well-suited for tight-tolerance work. Machinists and tooling professionals install this bit in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual machine setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is engineered for use on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and general steel workpieces. The bright uncoated finish makes it a practical choice for applications where coating compatibility is a concern or where re-sharpening is anticipated. The straight-cylindrical shank at 0.2812 inches diameter fits standard drill chucks and collet systems without modification. The 1-inch flute length and 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio are optimized for shallow-to-moderate depth holes in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance versus high-speed steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree faceted point with web thinning reduces thrust and improves centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9\/32 inch (0.2812 inches) diameter with tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShort screw machine length (2.5 inches overall) provides rigidity in close-clearance setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, 2-flute spiral design supports efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and re-sharpening cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and carbon or alloy steel.

Always secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and confirm chuck or collet runout is within acceptable tolerances, as carbide is more brittle than high-speed steel and sensitive to lateral loading. Power down the machine and lock out energy sources before changing tooling. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/32 inch (0.2812 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\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\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: 0.2812 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\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  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short (Screw Machine Length)\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: 20628120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51745789149490,"sku":"20628120","price":74.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/01e7b23308cd60a4613f795d9f995e48_a81c11e6-e239-490e-b7d2-55b842932add.jpg?v=1788865174","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20628120-carbide-screw-machine-drill-bit-9-32","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
