M.a. Ford. 20007600 Die Drill Bit 0.0760 in Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 20007600 is a solid carbide, straight-flute die drill bit designed for precision holemaking in demanding materials. Built to Series 200 standards, it carries a 0.0760 inch diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches, making it well suited for close-tolerance work. The 135-degree split point with web thinning reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation at entry. The bit runs two right-hand flutes and is left uncoated, relying on the carbide substrate for hardness and wear resistance. Licensed machinists, tool and die makers, and precision metalworking shops are the primary users of this size class.

This drill bit is rated for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, alloy steel, austenitic stainless steel, hardened materials, high-temperature alloys, titanium, ceramic, and glass. Its small diameter and straight-flute geometry make it a practical choice for die and mold work, jig boring, and any application requiring consistent hole quality at the No. 48 wire gauge size. The bit is built to DIN standards, which aligns it with metric tooling practices commonly found in precision manufacturing and aerospace environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in difficult workpiece materials
• 135-degree split point reduces entry thrust and self-centers on contact
• Web-thinned geometry improves chip flow and lowers cutting force
• Tight diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches for close-tolerance hole applications
• Straight-flute design suited for brittle and hard materials including ceramics and hardened stock
• DIN-standard compliance supports compatibility with metric tooling setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tooling option for Series 200 die drill applications requiring a No. 48 wire gauge (0.0760 inch) straight-flute carbide bit. Compatible workpiece materials include cast iron, steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, austenitic stainless steel, high-temperature alloys, titanium, non-ferrous metals, ceramic, and glass per manufacturer specifications.

Installation Notes

This bit is intended for use by qualified machinists and tooling professionals operating CNC machines, drill presses, or manual mills with appropriate collet or chuck toolholding. Secure the shank fully in the holder to the 1.125 inch shank length before operation. At this diameter, runout control is critical — inspect the spindle and toolholder for concentricity before use. Coolant-through is not supported; use external coolant or cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material as needed.
