Built to Series 300 heavy-duty standards, it features a 118-degree drill point angle and a fast spiral with a 35-degree helix angle that promotes efficient chip evacuation. The wire gauge size is 26, with a decimal inch diameter of 0.1470 inches (3.73 mm). Flute length is 0.75 inches and overall length is 1.5 inches. The bit is uncoated and ground for right-hand cutting. Licensed electricians, PCB fabricators, and precision machine operators are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for through-hole drilling in circuit boards as well as light-duty machining of cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and plastics. The fast spiral geometry keeps chip load manageable in these materials, reducing heat buildup and minimizing the risk of workpiece damage. It is a single-piece solid carbide construction, which provides the rigidity needed for small-diameter, high-precision holes. It fits standard CNC drill spindles and manual drill presses that accept a 0.1470-inch (3.73 mm) shank diameter. Both production shops and bench-level technicians use this bit for consistent, repeatable hole geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in precision drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree drill point angle for accurate hole entry with minimal walking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast spiral with 35-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation in circuit board materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTapered web configuration for added strength at the cutting tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish suitable for cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and plastics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction, compatible with standard CNC and manual drill spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide drill bit for applications requiring a wire gauge size 26 (0.1470 inch) diameter bit with a 3.73 mm shank on CNC or manual drilling equipment used in circuit board and light machining operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by qualified machinists, PCB fabricators, or trained technicians. Ensure the drill spindle and chuck are powered down and fully stopped before inserting or removing the bit. Verify chuck or collet size matches the 3.73 mm shank diameter before securing the tool. Do not exceed the rated RPM or feed rate for the workpiece material, as solid carbide bits are brittle and can fracture under excessive lateral load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1470 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.73 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\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1470 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.73 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches (19.05 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\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 degrees\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\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy-Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metals, Plastics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 30014700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51733901967666,"sku":"30014700","price":42.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a7edb8b8d904181107cccd2cd0837a09_a7c94c61-9c5a-4b9d-9f0f-02ed9daa7407.jpg?v=1788759819","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-30014700-circuit-board-drill-bit-size-26","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
