Guhring 9007320016000 Carbide Jobber Drill Bit 1.6 Mm

Product Description

The GUHRING 9007320016000 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for precision small-diameter drilling in demanding shop and field applications. Built from solid carbide grade DK120 with a bright coating, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention needed for consistent performance in hard or abrasive materials. The 118-degree faceted point provides accurate self-centering entry, while the regular spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation. At 1.6 mm (0.0630 inches) in diameter with a 43 mm (1.693 inches) overall length, this bit is sized for tight-tolerance work where a high-speed steel tool would deflect or wear prematurely. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials, including steel, cast iron, aluminum, and engineering plastics. The 20 mm (0.787 inches) flute length supports a maximum drilling depth of 20 mm, making it appropriate for through-holes and blind holes in thin-to-medium stock. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders, enabling use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and handheld power tools with a compatible chuck capacity. Its compact jobber-length profile reduces runout risk in precision setups.

Key Features

• Solid carbide DK120 grade construction for superior hardness and wear resistance versus high-speed steel
• 118-degree faceted drill point for accurate, self-centering entry without a center punch in many applications
• Bright coating - no added coating thickness to affect tight-tolerance hole sizing
• Regular spiral flute with tapered web for effective chip clearance and reduced thrust
• Straight-cylindrical shank (1.60 mm diameter) fits standard collets and drill chucks directly
• Diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.010 mm supports close-tolerance hole requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and power tools accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 1.60 mm diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank fully in a collet or drill chuck before operation, and verify runout is within acceptable limits for the application. Solid carbide tooling is brittle - avoid side loading, interrupted cuts at aggressive feed rates, or re-chucking a visibly chipped bit. Follow the machine manufacturer and applicable shop safety guidelines for spindle speeds and feed rates appropriate to the workpiece material.
