Built to DIN standards, it features a 135-degree split point with web thinning for fast, accurate entry with reduced thrust. The 0.2040-inch diameter corresponds to a #6 wire size, making it a common choice for close-tolerance work in dies, molds, and precision fixtures. Two right-hand flutes and an uncoated carbide body deliver clean chip evacuation and consistent performance across a range of materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for professional machinists, tool-and-die makers, and precision fabricators working in job shops, toolrooms, and manufacturing environments. It performs well in cast iron, steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, austenitic stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, titanium, high-temperature alloys, hardened materials, ceramic, and glass. Its compact overall length of 2 inches makes it a practical option for tight-clearance setups and fixture drilling where longer bits would be impractical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with web thinning reduces cutting thrust and improves centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-flute geometry supports clean chip flow in short-hole drilling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish maintains sharp edge geometry on a wide range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches supports close-tolerance holemaking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt to DIN standards for consistent geometry and interchangeability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a precision holemaking tool for use in toolroom, die, and general machining applications across cast iron, steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, titanium, high-temperature alloys, hardened materials, ceramic, and glass workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use of this bit should be performed by qualified machinists or tool-and-die professionals.
