M.a. Ford. 22607870 Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.0787 in

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 22607870 is a screw machine length (stub length) drill bit designed for high-precision drilling in demanding industrial and machining applications. Built from solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required when working with cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, and steel. The bit measures 0.0787 inches (2.00 mm) in diameter with an overall length of 1.4961 inches (38.00 mm) and features a standard 118-degree faceted point angle. A web-thinned parallel web configuration reduces entry resistance and improves chip flow. The bright/uncoated finish suits applications where coating compatibility with cutting fluids is a consideration.

This drill bit is suited for screw machine operations, CNC machining centers, and manual drill press work where a short, stiff tool profile is preferred to minimize deflection. The right-hand spiral flute design handles interrupted cuts and tight-tolerance hole requirements across production and job shop environments. It is typically installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working to close diameter tolerances in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for maximum rigidity and tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 118-degree faceted point angle with web-thinned parallel web for reduced thrust and cleaner entry
• Screw machine (short) length profile minimizes deflection in high-speed drilling applications
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank at 0.0787 inches diameter for standard collet and chuck compatibility
• Meets DIN 6539 specification for consistent dimensional accuracy

Compatibility

Designed for use in screw machines, CNC machining centers, and drill presses where a straight-cylindrical shank is accepted. Suitable for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel per M.A. FORD. Series 226 design intent.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and serviced by machinists and CNC operators. Secure the shank fully in the collet or chuck before operation and verify runout is within acceptable tolerance for the application. Carbide tooling is brittle — avoid lateral loading or interrupted cuts without confirming the tool is rated for that condition. Follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed and feed rate when working with solid carbide drills.
