With a 17\/32 inch (0.5313 inch) diameter and a 118-degree faceted point angle, this bit delivers controlled entry and accurate sizing in cast iron, stainless steel, steel, and non-ferrous metals. The short flute design and 3.5 inch overall length make it well-suited to screw machine and CNC drilling operations where rigidity and repeatability are priorities. Web thinning reduces thrust force at the point, easing penetration in harder materials. Machinists, tool-and-die shops, and production drilling operations are the primary users of this style of bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is built for short-hole production drilling applications in machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and fabrication environments. The screw machine length profile keeps the bit compact and stiff, reducing deflection during high-feed drilling cycles. Its straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders without modification. The 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio keeps chip evacuation efficient in the short flute length. Applications include drilling pilot holes, through-holes, and precision bores in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces where dimensional accuracy and tool life are critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree faceted point angle with web thinning for reduced thrust and clean entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e17\/32 inch diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine (short) length — 3.5 inch overall — for maximum rigidity in production setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard chucks and collet toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, regular spiral, two-flute design for balanced chip load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel workpieces.

Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and verify runout before beginning a production run. Solid carbide tooling is brittle — avoid side loading, interrupted cuts without appropriate parameters, or re-chucking a visibly chipped tool. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting cutting parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5313 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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5313 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 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\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 Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short (Screw Machine)\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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 20653120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51746425897266,"sku":"20653120","price":149.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/01e7b23308cd60a4613f795d9f995e48_87f55025-5ad7-4c34-bc9f-536897f656b7.jpg?v=1788870018","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20653120-carbide-screw-machine-drill-bit-17-32","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
