Ford 20017700 Die Drill Bit 0.1770 in Solid Carbide","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD 20017700 is a solid carbide, straight-flute die drill bit designed for precision holemaking in demanding industrial and toolroom applications. It carries a 0.1770-inch diameter (Wire Size #16), a 135-degree split point, and an uncoated finish, making it well suited for controlled entry and accurate hole placement without a pilot. The 2-flute geometry with web thinning reduces thrust force and improves chip evacuation. At 2.0 inches overall length with a 0.625-inch flute length, this is a short, rigid drill built for tight-tolerance work in die sets, molds, and fixture plates. It meets DIN standards and is manufactured to a diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is used in machining and tool-and-die environments where close-tolerance holes are required in hard or abrasive materials. It is appropriate for right-hand cutting operations on CNC machining centers, manual mills, and drill presses. Primary workpiece materials include cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. Secondary applications extend to alloy steel, austenitic stainless steel, hardened materials, high-temperature alloys, titanium, ceramic, and glass. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and precision fabricators working in job shops or production environments are the typical users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point for self-centering entry and reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-flute, 2-flute geometry with web thinning for improved chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids across a broad material range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDIN-standard geometry with diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction; no coolant-through requirement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with primary workpiece materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, and steel, as well as secondary materials such as alloy steel, austenitic stainless steel, hardened materials, high-temperature alloys, titanium, ceramic, and glass.

Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation, and verify spindle runout is within acceptable limits for close-tolerance work. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling. Do not exceed the recommended speed and feed parameters for the workpiece material being drilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1770 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: #16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1770 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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\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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\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\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: 20017700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730744344882,"sku":"20017700","price":54.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0d0e6c27f83536eeea8a0e7beb6bd97e_eadadf64-dd54-410c-8bd2-e527ddf8014b.jpg?v=1788722110","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-20017700-die-drill-bit-0-1770-in-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
