FANAR Solid Carbide Drill Bit X-Drill 3.8 mm 3xD DIN 6537

The FANAR Solid Carbide Drill Bit X-Drill 3.8 mm 3xD DIN 6537 is a high-performance cutting tool engineered for precision metal drilling in professional machining and industrial manufacturing environments. Manufactured from solid carbide according to DIN 6537 standards, this tool delivers exceptional stability, dimensional accuracy, and extended tool life during continuous operation. Its optimized flute geometry ensures efficient chip evacuation, reducing heat generation and maintaining high cutting speeds in demanding production workflows.

Advantages

Constructed from premium solid carbide, this drill bit provides superior hardness and wear resistance compared to standard high-speed steel alternatives. The robust construction minimizes tool deflection during heavy-duty operations, resulting in accurate hole positioning and smooth surface finishes. Adherence to DIN 6537 standards guarantees reliable interchangeability and consistent performance across automated CNC machinery and manual drill presses alike.

Suitable for

• Precision metal drilling in industrial manufacturing
• Machining operations in professional workshops
• Drilling applications requiring a 3.8 mm diameter
• Workflows utilizing CNC machining centers and stable drill presses

When it may not be suitable

This solid carbide drill bit is not recommended for hand-held portable drilling applications due to the brittle nature of carbide, which can lead to tool breakage under manual vibration or misalignment. It is also unsuitable for materials outside its intended metal-working scope unless specifically tested for specialized composite machining.

Key specifications

• Tool type: Solid carbide drill bit
• Model series: X-Drill
• Diameter: 3.8 mm
• Working length: 3xD
• Manufacturing standard: DIN 6537

How to use

Secure the drill bit firmly in a high-precision collet or hydraulic chuck to minimize runout and prevent tool damage. Set the appropriate spindle speed and feed rate according to the specific metal alloy being machined, ensuring a continuous supply of coolant to optimize chip evacuation and thermal management. Begin the drilling operation with a controlled feed rate upon workpiece contact to achieve a clean entry point and extend tool longevity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 3.8 mm diameter and 3xD working length match your specific project requirements
• Ensure your equipment utilizes stable toolholders compatible with solid carbide tooling
• Check that adequate coolant delivery systems are available for your machining setup

Usage recommendations: Always use appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves, when handling cutting tools and metal chips. Regularly inspect the cutting edges for wear or micro-chipping to maintain optimal machining performance and prevent unexpected tool failure.
