Guhring 9024640018000 Carbide Drill Bit 1.8 Mm Firex

Product Description

The GUHRING 9024640018000 is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit designed for precision drilling in non-ferrous materials, particularly aluminum. Built to DIN standards, this bit features a 118-degree faceted point angle, a FIREX coating for improved wear resistance and heat dissipation, and a web-thinned tip for reduced thrust and cleaner entry. At 1.8 mm (0.0709 inches) in diameter with a straight-cylindrical shank, it suits compact drilling stations, CNC machining centers, and manual drill presses where small-diameter accuracy is critical. This tool is installed and used by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and precision fabricators working in production or maintenance environments.

The 9024640018000 is intended for general-purpose drilling in aluminum and other non-ferrous workpiece materials classified under material code N. Its 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio provides efficient chip evacuation in shallow-to-moderate depth holes. With a maximum drilling depth of 19.30 mm (0.76 inches) and an overall length of 46 mm (1.81 inches), this bit fits standard collet chucks and precision tool holders commonly used in light machining operations. The Series 2464 designation places it within a well-established GUHRING carbide drill family engineered for tight diameter tolerances.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction in material grade K40 for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous applications
• FIREX coating reduces friction and extends tool life in aluminum and similar materials
• 118-degree faceted point with web thinning lowers entry thrust and improves hole quality
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute geometry for consistent chip flow
• Tight diameter tolerance of -0.012 to 0.000 mm ensures dimensional accuracy
• DIN specification compliance for predictable fitment in standard tooling setups

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-held precision drilling equipment accepting a 1.80 mm straight-cylindrical shank. Optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials per material code N.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with small-diameter carbide tooling. Always confirm spindle runout is within acceptable limits before use, as carbide bits at this diameter are brittle and sensitive to lateral load. Secure the shank fully in a collet or chuck rated for the shank diameter before powering the machine. Do not use this bit for materials outside its rated workpiece category, as carbide grades optimized for non-ferrous materials may chip or fracture in hardened steels.
