M.a. Ford. 20007870 Die Drill Bit 0.0787 in Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 20007870 is a solid carbide straight-flute die drill bit engineered for precision holemaking in demanding materials. It measures 2.00 mm (0.0787 inches) in diameter with a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and improves centering on entry. The uncoated carbide construction delivers rigidity and wear resistance suited to high-cycle production drilling. With an overall length of 38.00 mm (1.496 inches) and a flute length of 9.50 mm (0.374 inches), this is a compact tool sized for die work, fixture drilling, and other tight-tolerance applications. A two-flute, right-hand cutting geometry with web thinning promotes chip evacuation and lowers thrust force. It is installed by machinists and tool-room technicians.

This die drill bit is intended for holemaking in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel, with secondary suitability in alloy steel, austenitic stainless steel, hardened materials, high-temperature alloys, titanium, ceramic, and glass. It fits production, tooling, and maintenance applications where a small-diameter carbide drill is required. The Series 200 designation places it in M.A. FORD. straight-flute die drill product line, conforming to DIN standards. It is well suited to manual drill press setups and CNC machining centers running appropriate speeds and feeds for the workpiece material.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 135-degree split point reduces entry thrust and minimizes drill walk
• Web-thinned geometry lowers cutting forces and improves chip flow
• Two-flute straight-flute design optimized for die drilling and precision holemaking
• Right-hand cut, uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of workpiece materials
• Conforms to DIN standards for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Series 200 straight-flute die drill bit suitable for use in standard drill chucks and collet holders accepting a 2.00 mm shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tool-room technicians using a drill press, milling machine, or CNC machining center with a collet or drill chuck sized for a 2.00 mm shank. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before changing tooling. Use appropriate speeds and feeds for the target workpiece material to avoid premature carbide fracture. Coolant-through is not supported on this bit, so external coolant or mist lubrication is recommended when drilling stainless steel or high-temperature alloys.
