Built for precision drilling in non-ferrous metals, this bit features a brad point, a regular spiral flute geometry, and a bright uncoated finish that maintains tight dimensional tolerances straight out of the box. At 1-3\/4 inches overall length with a 1\/2-inch flute length, it is sized for compact drilling stations and screw machine operations where stub-length control matters. A web-thinned, parallel web configuration reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation in short-bore applications. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and CNC setup personnel are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is designed for screw machine and short-hole drilling operations in non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, copper, and similar soft alloys. The 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio and the 1-1\/4-inch shank length suit gang-drilling fixtures, turret lathes, and benchtop drill presses where rigidity and repeatability at small diameters are critical. The right-hand cut and spiral flute design pull chips upward and out of the bore, reducing the risk of re-cutting in shallow blind holes. No coolant-through capability is required for typical non-ferrous applications at this diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction delivers superior hardness and wear resistance compared to high-speed steel at small diameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrad point tip geometry improves entry accuracy and reduces walking on flat or curved non-ferrous workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned parallel web reduces axial thrust and improves chip clearance in short-depth bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish maintains as-ground sharpness with no coating buildup at tight tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance held to +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches for consistent fit in precision hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank seats directly in standard collets and drill chucks without adapter reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a screw machine length replacement or production drill bit for operations requiring a 3\/32-inch (0.0938 inches) solid carbide bit in non-ferrous metal applications; compatible with standard straight-shank collets and three-jaw drill chucks accepting 0.0938-inch shanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel familiar with small-diameter carbide tooling. Always seat the shank fully and evenly in the collet or chuck before tightening to prevent runout. Carbide is brittle at this diameter — avoid side loading, interrupted cuts, or excessive feed rates that can cause fracture. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing or inspecting tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0938 inches (3\/32 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0938 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\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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brad\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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: Screw Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 207\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: 20709380\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51746769338674,"sku":"20709380","price":45.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7c86099f2db78e93537937958f9f2ade_8d12c67d-a566-4000-aa8f-3942bf8795d1.jpg?v=1788873477","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20709380-screw-machine-drill-bit-3-32-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
