M.a. Ford. 30209600 Circuit Board Drill Bit No. 41

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 30209600 is a solid carbide circuit board drill bit designed for precision drilling in printed circuit board fabrication and high-accuracy machining applications. It carries a wire gauge size of No. 41, with a decimal diameter of 0.0960 inches (2.44 mm). The 130-degree drill point angle and fast spiral flute geometry allow for clean entry and efficient chip evacuation in demanding materials. The tapered web configuration adds rigidity while the right-hand cutting direction suits standard CNC and manual drill press setups. This bit is intended for use by machinists, PCB fabrication technicians, and skilled tradespeople working with tight-tolerance drilling tasks.

This drill bit is suited for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, high-temperature alloys, and titanium. Its solid carbide construction makes it appropriate for production environments where tool life and hole quality are critical. The 1/8-inch shank diameter allows it to fit a wide range of standard collets and chuck systems used in CNC drilling equipment and precision drill presses. It is sold individually and is well matched to circuit board drilling, precision metalworking, and aerospace component production.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• No. 41 wire gauge size at 0.0960 inches (2.44 mm) diameter for tight-tolerance holes
• 130-degree drill point angle for fast, clean entry into workpiece material
• Fast spiral flute design with 35-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip removal
• Tapered web configuration adds core strength and reduces deflection
• Uncoated finish — compatible with applications where coatings may be restricted

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/8-inch collets and chuck systems on CNC drilling machines and precision drill presses. Suitable for primary workpiece materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metal, alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, high-temperature alloy, and titanium.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or PCB fabrication technicians familiar with CNC or manual drill press operation. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and power is disconnected before changing or seating the bit in the collet or chuck. Use appropriate speeds and feeds for the workpiece material and bit diameter to avoid tool breakage. Solid carbide bits are brittle — avoid side loading or impact during handling and operation.
