M.a. Ford 20006700 Carbide Die Drill Bit 0.0670 in 51

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 20006700 is a solid carbide die drill bit engineered for precision holemaking in demanding industrial and toolroom applications. Built to Series 200 specifications, this straight-flute bit measures 0.0670 inches in diameter (Wire Size 51) and runs a 135-degree split point for fast, accurate starts with minimal walking. The uncoated solid carbide construction delivers the hardness and edge retention needed when drilling cast iron, stainless steel, alloy steel, high-temperature alloys, and titanium. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC setup techs use this bit where a standard high-speed steel drill would fail or deflect on hard or abrasive materials.

This die drill is sized for tight-tolerance holemaking in dies, molds, fixtures, and precision components. At 0.0670 inches diameter with a right-hand cutting direction and web-thinned point, it excels in small-hole applications where hole position and finish quality are critical. The straight-flute design suits it for harder workpiece materials including hardened materials, ceramics, glass, and titanium where helical flutes could introduce chatter or breakage risk. A 1-1/8-inch shank length provides stable chuck engagement in both CNC and manual drill press setups.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in ferrous and exotic alloys
• 135-degree split point reduces thrust force and self-centers on entry without a center punch
• Web-thinned geometry lowers cutting resistance in tough materials
• Straight-flute design suited for brittle and hard materials including ceramics, glass, and hardened stock
• Diameter tolerance held to +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches for precision fitment
• Right-hand cutting, 2-flute configuration compatible with standard CNC and manual spindles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision die drill for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual mills where a 0.0670-inch straight-shank carbide bit is specified. Rated for primary workpiece materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, and steel, with secondary suitability for alloy steel, austenitic stainless steel, ceramics, glass, hardened materials, high-temperature alloys, and titanium. Conforms to DIN standards.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this bit is performed by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC technicians. Secure the shank fully in a collet or precision drill chuck before operation and verify spindle runout is within acceptable tolerance, as small-diameter carbide is brittle and sensitive to side load. Power down and lock out the machine before changing bits. Do not use this bit in a standard keyed chuck that cannot hold close concentricity, as deflection will cause breakage at this diameter.
