M.a. Ford. 30003500 Circuit Board Drill Bit Size 65

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 30003500 is a solid carbide circuit board drill bit designed for precise, small-diameter drilling in demanding production and repair environments. Built to Series 300 heavy-duty standards, it carries a wire gauge size of 65, which corresponds to a decimal diameter of 0.035 inches (0.89 mm). The 118-degree drill point angle and fast spiral flute geometry work together to clear chips efficiently while maintaining hole accuracy. This bit is sized and constructed for use by machinists, PCB fabricators, and precision manufacturing technicians who require consistent results in tight-tolerance applications.

This drill bit is suited for use on circuit boards as well as a range of production materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, steel, and plastics. The fast spiral and tapered web configuration make it effective in both manual and CNC drilling setups where chip evacuation and cut quality are priorities. With an overall length of 1.5 inches and a flute length of 0.625 inches, it fits standard collets and chucks used in precision drilling equipment. It is sold and packaged as a single unit.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance for small-diameter drilling
• Wire gauge size 65 with a 0.035-inch (0.89 mm) diameter for fine, precise holes
• 118-degree drill point angle for accurate entry and reduced walking on hard substrates
• Fast spiral flute design with 35-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Tapered web configuration adds strength behind the cutting edge
• Right-hand cutting direction; compatible with standard drill press and CNC spindle rotation
• Uncoated finish; suitable for dry or light-lubrication drilling of circuit board materials and metals

Compatibility

Designed for use in precision drilling of circuit boards and compatible with applications involving cast iron, non-ferrous metals, steel, and plastics. Fits standard collets and chucks that accept a 0.035-inch (0.89 mm) shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or technicians familiar with small-diameter tooling. Secure the bit fully in the collet or chuck before operation and verify spindle runout is within acceptable tolerance to avoid bit deflection or breakage at this diameter. Solid carbide bits are brittle and should not be used in setups with excessive vibration or lateral loading. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace at the first sign of chipping or wear to maintain hole quality.
