The solid carbide drill bit Fanar X-Drill Solid Carbide Drill Bit 5.60 mm Diameter 3xD VHM HA6 is compared with several alternative models from the same FANAR X-Drill series. All compared products share the same 3xD drilling depth ratio, VHM solid carbide material, HA6 shank specification, and professional metalworking application purpose. The main practical differences among the models lie in their nominal diameters and specific coatings on certain variants.
⚙️ The table below compares the core characteristics of the models, including drilling diameter, depth, manufacturing standards, and material properties, to evaluate their technical differences for specific tasks.
| Parameter | Fanar X-Drill 5.60 mm | FANAR X-Drill 5.8 mm | FANAR X-DRILL 5.20 mm | FANAR X-Drill 3.20 mm | FANAR Wiertło 4.50 mm | FANAR W9-604X13-0370 3.70 mm | Practical significance |
|---|
| Diameter | 5.60 mm | 5.8 mm | 5.20 mm | 3.20 mm | 4.50 mm | 3.70 mm | Determines the resulting hole size; selection depends on specific blueprint requirements. |
| Drilling depth | 3xD | 3xD | 3xD | 3xD | 3xD | 3xD | All models provide the same relative drilling depth capacity up to three times the diameter. |
| Material and series | VHM HA6 X-Drill | VHM HA6 X-Drill | VHM DIN 6537 HA6 AT | DIN 6537 HA6 VHM | HA6 VHM X-Drill | DIN 6537 HA6 VHM | The shared solid carbide foundation ensures high rigidity and wear resistance across all options. |
◎ The table below evaluates which product is more suitable for different use cases and diameter requirements.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Drilling 5.60 mm holes | Fanar X-Drill 5.60 mm | Precisely matches the required hole diameter for the specified machining process. |
| Drilling 5.8 mm holes | FANAR X-Drill 5.8 mm | Suitable when a slightly larger hole diameter is needed within the same series. |
| Precision drilling with AT coating | FANAR X-DRILL 5.20 mm | Includes a specialized coating beneficial for specific toolroom and production applications. |
| Smaller diameter drilling (3.20 - 4.50 mm) | Alternative models 3.20, 3.70, and 4.50 mm | Ideal for applications requiring smaller hole dimensions while maintaining carbide performance. |
The Fanar X-Drill Solid Carbide Drill Bit 5.60 mm Diameter 3xD VHM HA6 differs from the alternatives primarily by offering a specific 5.60 mm diameter, while maintaining the same foundational VHM material, 3xD depth ratio, and X-Drill series geometry. This drill bit is most suitable for professionals who require this exact diameter for their metalworking tasks. A buyer should choose between these alternatives based strictly on the required hole dimensions.
