M.a. Ford. 20027560 Die Drill Bit 0.2756 in Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 20027560 is a solid carbide die drill bit designed for precision holemaking in demanding industrial applications. Built to DIN standards, it features a 135-degree split point that reduces entry force and minimizes walking on hard surfaces. The web-thinned geometry improves chip evacuation and lowers thrust requirements. At 0.2756 inches (7.00 mm) in diameter with a 2-flute straight-flute configuration, this bit delivers tight dimensional control with a diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches. It is well suited for shops and field technicians working in high-precision die and mold environments.

This drill bit is rated for use in cast iron, steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, austenitic stainless steel, titanium, high temperature alloys, and non-ferrous metals. It is also listed for secondary use in hardened materials, ceramics, and glass where carbide tooling is required. The uncoated carbide construction makes it a practical choice for applications where coating compatibility with cutting fluids or workpiece chemistry is a concern. Right-hand cutting direction suits standard drill press, CNC machining center, and manual spindle setups.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and heat resistance in hard-material drilling
• 135-degree split point reduces thrust and prevents bit walk on entry
• Web-thinned geometry improves chip flow and reduces cutting torque
• Straight-flute design suited for through-hole and die work in brittle or hard materials
• Uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and workpiece materials
• Built to DIN standards for consistent dimensional accuracy

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a 7.00 mm (0.2756 inch) shank. Suitable for drill press, CNC machining center, and manual spindle applications requiring a straight-flute carbide die drill in this diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician familiar with carbide tooling handling. Secure the shank fully in a compatible collet or drill chuck before operation and verify runout is within acceptable limits for the application. Carbide is brittle — avoid side loading, interrupted cuts without appropriate feed rate adjustment, or impacts that can cause chipping. Always follow applicable machine guarding and PPE requirements per shop safety standards.
