Ford 30005500 Circuit Board Drill Bit Size 54 1.4mm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD 30005500 is a solid carbide circuit board drill bit designed for high-precision drilling in printed circuit board and light metalworking applications. Sized at wire gauge 54 (0.0550 inches \/ 1.40 mm), it features a 118-degree drill point angle and a fast spiral flute geometry with a 35-degree helix angle. The tapered web configuration improves chip evacuation and helps maintain hole accuracy in thin or layered materials. With a 5\/8-inch flute length and a 1-1\/2-inch overall length, this bit is compact and suited for use in CNC drilling stations and benchtop drill presses. It is typically installed and serviced by electronics manufacturing technicians, toolroom machinists, and precision metalworking professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is built for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, steel, and plastics. Its uncoated solid carbide construction delivers consistent performance in high-cycle production environments where hole diameter tolerance is critical. The right-hand cutting direction and fast spiral design move chips clear of the cutting zone quickly, reducing heat buildup and helping maintain the tight diameter tolerance of -0.0005 to +0.0000 inches. Series 300 designates this as part of M.A. FORD's heavy-duty circuit board drill line, appropriate for both manual and automated drilling setups in light industrial and electronics manufacturing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in high-cycle drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree drill point angle for accurate entry on flat and curved surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFast spiral flute with 35-degree helix angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTapered web configuration enhances strength and reduces walking at entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTight diameter tolerance of -0.0005 to +0.0000 inches for precision hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction, compatible with standard spindle rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a heavy-duty OEM-style circuit board drill bit for use in CNC drilling machines, benchtop drill presses, and automated PCB drilling equipment that accept a 1.40 mm shank diameter tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation and tool changes should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians with the machine powered down and the spindle fully stopped. Verify that the collet or chuck accepts a 1.40 mm shank before seating the bit. Solid carbide tooling is brittle — avoid side-loading, impact, or flexing during setup. Follow the machine manufacturer's recommended feed rate and spindle speed for the workpiece material to prevent premature breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 54\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0550 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.40 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0550 inches (1.40 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6250 inches (15.88 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches (38.10 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0005 to +0.0000 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: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal, Steel, Plastics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy-Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 300\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: 30005500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51727301574962,"sku":"30005500","price":29.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a7edb8b8d904181107cccd2cd0837a09_236de670-45f3-412c-8bf7-6299f08e4fcb.jpg?v=1788676070","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-30005500-circuit-board-drill-bit-size-54-1-4mm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
