M.a. Ford 20009350 Die Drill Bit 0.0935 in Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 20009350 is a solid carbide, straight-flute die drill bit designed for precision holemaking in hard and abrasive materials. It measures 0.0935 inches in diameter (Wire Size 42) with a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and cutting force at entry. The uncoated carbide construction delivers rigidity and wear resistance across demanding applications. Overall length is 1.5 inches with a 0.5-inch flute and a 1.0-inch shank diameter matching the bit diameter at 0.0935 inches. Web thinning is applied to improve chip evacuation and reduce thrust load during drilling operations.

This die drill bit is suited for holemaking in cast iron, steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, austenitic stainless steel, titanium, high-temperature alloys, and select non-ferrous metals. Secondary applications include ceramic, glass, and hardened materials. The straight-flute geometry makes it well-suited for use in die work, toolrooms, and precision machining environments where hole accuracy and surface finish are critical. It is sold individually and used by machinists, tool and die makers, and precision fabricators running CNC or manual drilling equipment.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in hard materials
• 135-degree split point reduces drill walk and lowers entry thrust force
• Web-thinned geometry improves chip evacuation and reduces cutting resistance
• Straight-flute design suited for die work and short-hole precision drilling
• Diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches for tight-tolerance holemaking
• Conforms to DIN standards for consistent dimensional quality

Compatibility

Designed for use in precision holemaking applications involving cast iron, steel, stainless steel, titanium, high-temperature alloys, and non-ferrous metals as part of the M.A. FORD Series 200 die drill bit line.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by machinists and tool and die makers in drill presses, CNC machining centers, or manual milling machines. Ensure the spindle and collet or chuck are properly trued before seating the shank to avoid runout that can chip carbide. Carbide tooling is brittle — do not use excessive feed rates or allow interrupted cuts without verifying setup rigidity. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material when the setup permits.
