Built to DIN standards, this 2-flute bit measures 0.0984 inches (2.50 mm) in diameter with a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and minimizes thrust at entry. The web-thinned geometry aids chip evacuation and improves cutting efficiency across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The uncoated carbide construction delivers consistent dimensional accuracy, held to a diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches. Licensed trades and machining professionals working in precision fabrication, die shops, and production environments will find this bit reliable across a broad material range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 20009840 is suited for holemaking in cast iron, steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, austenitic stainless steel, titanium, high-temperature alloys, hardened materials, ceramics, glass, and non-ferrous metals. Its compact overall length of 38.00 mm (approximately 1.50 inches) and 12.50 mm (approximately 0.49 inches) flute length make it appropriate for shallow, close-tolerance holes in dies, molds, and precision machined components. Right-hand cutting direction is standard. This bit does not support coolant-through delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces drill walk and lowers entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned geometry promotes chip flow and reduces heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-flute design suited for short-chip materials including cast iron and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish maintains sharp cutting edge geometry without coating buildup in tight tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches supports precision fit requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard production drill bit for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual toolroom equipment where a 2.50 mm straight-flute carbide die drill is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with carbide tooling. Secure the shank fully in a collet or drill chuck rated for the 2.50 mm shank diameter before operation. Carbide tooling is brittle — avoid lateral forces, interrupted cuts without appropriate feed reduction, or use in setups with excessive runout, as these conditions can cause breakage. Verify spindle speed and feed rate against manufacturer recommendations for the specific workpiece material before cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0984 inches (2.50 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38.00 mm (approximately 1.50 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12.50 mm (approximately 0.49 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.50 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25.50 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches (+0.000 to -0.013 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal, Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Austenitic Stainless Steel, Ceramic, Glass, Hardened Materials, High Temperature Alloy, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: M.A. FORD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20009840\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748095459634,"sku":"20009840","price":40.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0d0e6c27f83536eeea8a0e7beb6bd97e_31dcde7f-fec8-47f0-b240-9aba4e8dda3e.jpg?v=1788888993","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20009840-die-drill-bit-0-0984-in-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
