M.a. Ford 30206250C Micro Drill Bit 1/16 in Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 30206250C is a solid carbide micro drill bit designed for precision drilling in a wide range of metallic workpieces. It features a 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) diameter with a 130-degree point angle and an ALtima coating for improved wear resistance and tool life. The overall length is 1.5 inches, with a flute length of 0.48 inches and a straight-cylindrical shank diameter of 1/8 inch. The two-flute, fast spiral design promotes efficient chip evacuation in demanding materials. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and precision fabricators install this bit in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual lathes where tight tolerances and small-diameter holes are required.

This drill bit is suited for use in both production and toolroom environments. Primary workpiece materials include cast iron, hardened steel, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. Secondary materials include alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, special alloys, stainless steel, and tool steel. The right-hand cutting direction and fast spiral flute geometry make it effective across a broad spectrum of ferrous and non-ferrous stock. It is part of the M.A. FORD Series 302 micro drill line, a modified standard configuration.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials
• ALtima coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous and stainless applications
• 130-degree point angle optimized for a wide range of metallic workpiece materials
• Fast spiral flute type promotes efficient chip evacuation in deep or interrupted cuts
• Diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches for tight, repeatable hole sizing
• Straight-cylindrical 1/8 inch shank for compatibility with standard collets and chucks

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/8 inch collets, drill chucks, and toolholders on CNC machining centers and manual machine tools. Compatible with cast iron, hardened steel, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, steel, alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, special alloys, and tool steel workpieces as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and toolroom technicians in shop environments. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a properly sized collet or drill chuck before operation, and verify runout before beginning a cut. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is locked out before changing or inspecting the bit. This is a non-returnable and non-cancelable item per manufacturer designation; confirm the correct diameter and geometry before ordering.
