It carries a No. 68 wire gauge designation with a decimal diameter of 0.0310 inches and features a 130-degree point angle suited for accurate entry in hard and abrasive workpiece materials. The overall length is 1.5 inches with a flute length of 0.4 inches. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for solid carbide tooling where coating is not required. A 1\/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank provides secure chuck engagement. This bit is intended for machinists, tool and die makers, and precision fabricators working with small-diameter holes in challenging materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 30203101 is built for drilling cast iron, hardened steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, carbon steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and special alloys. It suits small-diameter hole applications in production machining, mold making, toolroom work, and general precision fabrication. The fast spiral flute design promotes chip evacuation in deep, tight-tolerance bores. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drill press and CNC machining center use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e130-degree point angle for reduced thrust and accurate entry into steel and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast spiral flute design promotes chip evacuation in small-diameter drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suitable for dry cutting or light-oil applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank for standard collet or drill chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches for close-tolerance hole requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured to ISO 9001:2015 quality standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard production micro drill bit for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and precision hand drill applications requiring a No. 68 wire gauge solid carbide bit with a 1\/8-inch shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom professionals familiar with small-diameter carbide tooling. Ensure the spindle and chuck are free of runout before seating the shank to prevent bit breakage at this diameter. Use appropriate cutting fluid or dry-cutting conditions as specified for the workpiece material. Carbide micro drills are brittle  -  avoid side loading, interrupted cuts without proper feed rate control, and excessive drill press or CNC feed rates that can snap the bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 68\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0310 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch straight-cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 130 degrees\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, Fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 302\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0005 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO 9001:2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\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: 30203101\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742727274802,"sku":"30203101","price":17.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a1bc4d956256abeb31166caebfc994b3_7696321a-2a0c-40f0-bc52-28d4b38f9dbd.jpg?v=1788839118","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-30203101-micro-drill-bit-no-68-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
