M.a. Ford. 20019680 Carbide Die Drill Bit 0.1969 in

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 20019680 is a solid carbide die drill bit designed for precision holemaking in demanding materials. Built to DIN standards, it features a 135-degree split point and web-thinned geometry that reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation at entry. The straight-flute design suits applications where chip control and hole accuracy are critical. With a 0.1969-inch (5.00 mm) diameter, a 2-flute configuration, and right-hand cutting direction, this bit is suited for machinists, tool-and-die makers, and production drilling operators working on tight-tolerance work. The uncoated carbide construction delivers consistent performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

This drill bit is intended 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. It fits Series 200 tooling applications and is appropriate for both manual machine setups and CNC drilling operations where a small-diameter, high-rigidity drill is required. The 51.00 mm overall length and 32.00 mm shank length suit standard toolholders and collet chucks used in precision machining environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials
• 135-degree split point reduces walking and lowers entry thrust
• Web-thinned geometry improves chip flow and cutting efficiency
• Straight-flute design suited for brittle materials including cast iron, ceramic, and glass
• Right-hand cut, 2-flute configuration for standard CNC and manual drilling setups
• Conforms to DIN standards for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed for use in M.A. FORD. Series 200 die drill applications. Compatible workpiece materials include cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, steel, alloy steel, austenitic stainless steel, ceramic, glass, hardened materials, high-temperature alloys, and titanium.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or tool-and-die professionals. Ensure the machine spindle and toolholder are powered down and locked out before loading or changing the bit. Confirm shank diameter compatibility with the collet or chuck before securing. Carbide tooling is brittle — avoid side-loading, interrupted cuts beyond the tool rating, or dropping the bit, as chipping or fracture can result.
