Built to DIN standards, it features an 11\/64-inch diameter with a 135-degree split point and web-thinned geometry that reduces entry force and walking at the start of a cut. The uncoated carbide construction delivers consistent performance in cast iron, stainless steel, alloy steel, high-temperature alloys, and titanium. With a 2-inch overall length and 5\/8-inch flute length, this bit fits tight-clearance die and mold work where standard-length drills cannot reach. Right-hand cutting direction. Diameter tolerance is held to +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is sized and configured for toolroom, die-making, and precision machining applications. Its short flute and rigid carbide body make it well suited for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual toolroom mills operating on hard or abrasive workpiece materials. Typical use cases include through-holes and blind holes in die steel, stainless steel components, non-ferrous metals, and ceramic or glass substrates where carbide is required to maintain edge life. The straight-flute design handles materials that work-harden or produce short, brittle chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with web thinning reduces thrust force and prevents walking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-flute geometry suits brittle and short-chipping materials including cast iron and ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish maintains sharp edge geometry; no coating buildup on cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches for close-tolerance hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets DIN standards for consistent dimensional control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for holemaking in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, alloy steel, austenitic stainless steel, hardened materials, high-temperature alloys, titanium, ceramic, and glass.

Secure the shank fully in a collet or drill chuck rated for the intended RPM and feed load before operating. Ensure the spindle is at a full stop before changing or inspecting the bit. Carbide tooling is brittle and should not be subjected to side loads or impact beyond the designed cutting parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Flute\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/64 inches (0.1719 inches)\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\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches (0.6250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/64 inches (0.1719 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/8 inches (1.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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\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\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 20017180\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740179333426,"sku":"20017180","price":54.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0d0e6c27f83536eeea8a0e7beb6bd97e_80a52d29-a3e4-47d5-ae15-0d8093928470.jpg?v=1788823233","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20017180-carbide-die-drill-bit-11-64-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
