It carries a 0.1695-inch (Wire Size 18) cutting diameter with a 135-degree split point and a web-thinned tip for reduced thrust and cleaner entry. The uncoated carbide construction maintains edge integrity across a broad range of workpiece materials. With a 2-inch overall length and a 5\/8-inch flute length, this bit is suited to controlled, short-depth drilling applications where rigidity and dimensional accuracy are critical. It is installed by machinists, tool and die makers, and precision metalworking professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis die drill bit is built for holemaking in cast iron, steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, austenitic stainless steel, titanium, high temperature alloys, hardened materials, ceramic, glass, and non-ferrous metals. Its Series 200 designation identifies it within M.A. FORD.s standard die drill line. The short flute and rigid carbide body make it a practical choice for die work, mold making, and precision fixture drilling where hole location and diameter tolerance are tightly controlled. The right-hand cutting direction suits standard CNC and manual drill press setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with web thinning reduces entry thrust and improves hole accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-flute geometry suited to brittle materials including cast iron, ceramic, and glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches ensures close-fit hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish allows direct inspection of tool wear and suits applications where coating adhesion is not required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to DIN standards for dimensional consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style precision die drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks and collet systems accepting a 0.1695-inch shank diameter.
