M.a. Ford. 20007000 Carbide Die Drill Bit 0.0700 in

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 20007000 is a solid carbide die drill bit designed for precision holemaking in demanding materials. It features a 135-degree split point that reduces thrust and improves centering without a pilot, and a web-thinned geometry that extends that advantage in harder workpieces. The straight-flute design suits short-hole drilling applications where chip evacuation is controlled. At 0.0700 inches in diameter (wire size #50) with an overall length of 1.5 inches and a flute length of 0.375 inches, this bit is built for tight-tolerance work. Diameter tolerance is held to +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches, making it appropriate wherever hole size consistency matters. Installation is handled by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

This drill bit is suited to holemaking operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including cast iron, stainless steel, alloy steel, austenitic stainless steel, steel, titanium, high-temperature alloys, hardened materials, glass, and ceramic. Its uncoated carbide construction performs reliably at elevated cutting speeds where high-speed steel tooling would degrade. The Series 200 designation places it within M.A. FORD.'s standard carbide drill lineup, and the DIN-standard geometry ensures compatibility with conventional drill holders and collet chucks sized for a 0.0700-inch shank diameter.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high-speed cutting and extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 135-degree split point reduces walking and entry thrust, improving hole location accuracy
• Web-thinned point geometry lowers cutting resistance in stainless steel, titanium, and hardened workpieces
• Right-hand cutting direction with two straight flutes for controlled chip evacuation in short holes
• Tight diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches supports close-tolerance holemaking
• DIN-standard geometry fits standard collet chucks and drill holders without modification

Compatibility

Rated for primary workpiece materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, and steel (material codes H, K, M, N, P, S), with secondary compatibility covering alloy steel, austenitic stainless steel, ceramic, glass, hardened materials, high-temperature alloys, stainless steel, and titanium. Fits standard collet systems accepting a 0.0700-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed and used by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and precision metalworking professionals. Secure the shank fully in a collet or drill chuck rated for the shank diameter before operation, and confirm the machine spindle is fully stopped before tooling changes. Coolant-through is not supported on this bit, so external coolant or cutting fluid application is recommended when drilling stainless steel, titanium, or hardened materials to manage heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges before each use, as carbide tooling at this diameter is brittle and susceptible to chipping if mishandled.
