Measuring 0.0197 inches (0.50 mm) in diameter with a 130-degree point angle, this bit is designed for high-accuracy entry into hard and abrasive workpiece materials. The bright, uncoated finish and fast spiral flute geometry support efficient chip evacuation at the micro scale. With an overall length of 38 mm and a straight-cylindrical shank diameter of 3.17 mm, it fits standard precision drill chucks used by machinists, toolmakers, and precision fabricators. The two-flute, right-hand cutting configuration follows Series 302 geometry and carries ISO 9001:2015 certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis micro drill bit is suited for use in CNC machining centers, precision drill presses, and benchtop micro-drilling setups. Primary workpiece materials include cast iron, hardened steel, stainless steel, steel, and non-ferrous metals. Secondary applications cover alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, special alloys, and tool steel. The fast spiral flute design makes it well suited for production environments where clean hole entry and dimensional accuracy are critical requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance at sub-millimeter diameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e130-degree point angle for accurate self-centering on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFast spiral flute geometry promotes chip evacuation in deep micro-holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.013 mm for tight-tolerance hole requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard straight-cylindrical shank precision drill chucks accepting a 3.17 mm shank.

Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a precision drill chuck before operation to prevent runout at this diameter. At 0.0197 inches, the bit is extremely fragile  -  avoid lateral loading, aggressive feed rates, or hand pressure during entry. Always verify spindle speed and feed rate settings against the manufacturer recommendations for the target workpiece material before drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0197 inches (0.50 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 130 degrees\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.13 mm\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: Fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.17 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 to -0.013 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 302\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Hardened Steel, Non-Ferrous Metal, Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Carbon Steel, Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metals, Special Alloy, Stainless Steel, Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO 9001:2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 30201972\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743912427826,"sku":"30201972","price":16.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a1bc4d956256abeb31166caebfc994b3_fcf6f719-40bc-40de-8703-4935585bb601.jpg?v=1788851150","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-30201972-micro-drill-bit-0-0197-in-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
