M.a. Ford 20007810 Die Drill Bit 5/64 in Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 20007810 is a solid carbide, straight-flute die drill bit designed for precision holemaking in demanding materials. Built to Series 200 specifications, it features a 135-degree split point and web-thinned geometry that reduces thrust and improves centering without a pilot hole. At 0.0781 inches (5/64 inch) in diameter with a 1.5-inch overall length, this bit is sized for small, tight-tolerance work. Right-hand cutting direction and an uncoated carbide substrate make it a reliable choice for shops drilling cast iron, stainless steel, steel, and non-ferrous metals. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, and precision fabricators are the typical users.

This drill bit is suited for die work, mold making, and close-tolerance holemaking in both production and maintenance environments. Its primary workpiece materials include cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. Secondary applications cover alloy steel, austenitic stainless steel, hardened materials, high-temperature alloys, titanium, ceramic, and glass. The short 3/8-inch flute length and compact 1.5-inch overall length make it well matched for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-held precision drilling setups where rigidity and minimal deflection are critical.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction delivers hardness and wear resistance for tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 135-degree split point reduces drill walk and lowers entry thrust
• Web-thinned geometry improves chip evacuation and cutting efficiency in deep or blind holes
• Diameter tolerance held to +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches for tight-fit holemaking
• Straight-flute, 2-flute design optimized for brittle and hard materials including ceramics and glass
• Conforms to DIN standards for consistent geometry and interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide die drill bit for Series 200 applications involving cast iron, steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, hardened materials, high-temperature alloys, titanium, ceramic, and glass workpieces.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals using CNC equipment, drill presses, or precision hand-held drives. Secure the shank firmly in a collet or chuck rated for the 5/64-inch shank diameter before operation. Solid carbide is brittle - avoid side-loading, interrupted cuts without proper feed rate adjustment, and re-chucking a bit that shows visible chipping or runout. Always verify spindle speed and feed rate against the workpiece material specifications before drilling.
