M.a. Ford. 20015750 Die Drill Bit 0.1575 in Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 20015750 is a solid carbide straight-flute die drill bit designed for precision holemaking in demanding industrial applications. Built to DIN standards, this uncoated carbide bit features a 135-degree split point and web-thinned geometry that reduces thrust force and improves centering at entry. The 0.1575-inch (4.00 mm) diameter makes it well suited for tight-tolerance work where dimensional accuracy is critical. Diameter tolerance is held to +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches. With a 2-flute right-hand cutting configuration and no coolant-through design, it is straightforward to run on conventional drill presses, CNC machining centers, and die-making equipment.

This bit is intended for holemaking in a broad range of workpiece materials including cast iron, steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, austenitic stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, titanium, high-temperature alloys, hardened materials, ceramics, and glass. Its overall length of approximately 2.008 inches (51.00 mm) and flute length of approximately 0.630 inches (16.00 mm) suit it to short-reach, high-precision drilling tasks common in toolroom, die shop, and precision machining environments. The Series 200 designation places it within M.A. FORD. s established line of straight-flute carbide drills.

Key Features

• DIN-standard geometry for predictable, repeatable performance

Compatibility

Designed for use in cast iron, steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, austenitic stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, titanium, high-temperature alloys, hardened materials, ceramics, and glass. Workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S as classified in the supplier data.

Installation Notes

Carbide drill bits are typically installed and operated by machinists or tool-and-die professionals using drill presses, milling machines, or CNC machining centers with appropriately sized chucks or collets. Secure the shank fully in the holder before operation to prevent runout. Solid carbide is brittle and susceptible to breakage from lateral loading or interrupted cuts at excessive feed rates. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or wear is observed.
