FANAR Solid Carbide Drill Masterdrill 5.50 mm DIN 6537 5xD VHM AT IK

The FANAR Solid Carbide Drill Masterdrill 5.50 mm DIN 6537 5xD VHM AT IK is a high-performance cutting tool engineered for professional industrial machining and demanding metalworking environments. Manufactured to precise DIN 6537 standards, this 5.50 mm solid carbide drill offers exceptional rigidity, wear resistance, and dimensional accuracy for consistent hole production. Equipped with an internal coolant supply, it ensures efficient heat dissipation and effective chip evacuation directly from the cutting zone during deep drilling operations.

Advantages

Constructed from premium VHM solid carbide, this drill delivers superior tool life and maintains cutting edge sharpness even under continuous, high-speed operating conditions. The integrated internal coolant channels significantly improve thermal management, reducing friction and preventing chip clogging. The 5xD drilling depth capability allows for efficient single-pass hole creation in a variety of metallic workpieces, enhancing overall productivity and machining precision in professional workshops.

Suitable for

• Precision metalworking and industrial machining applications
• Drilling operations requiring a 5.50 mm diameter hole
• Deep hole drilling up to 5xD depth ratios
• Applications utilizing machine tools with internal coolant systems

When it may not be suitable

This solid carbide drill is not intended for use in handheld drilling machines or unstable setups due to the rigidity requirements of VHM tools. It is also unsuitable for drilling non-metallic materials such as wood, glass, or soft plastics where specific geometry and cutting angles are required.

Key specifications

• Tool type: Solid carbide drill VHM AT IK
• Diameter: 5.50 mm
• Standard: DIN 6537
• Drilling depth: 5xD
• Coolant supply: Internal coolant

How to use

Secure the drill firmly in a high-precision collet or hydraulic chuck within a rigid CNC machine tool or milling center. Ensure the internal coolant supply system is properly connected and operating at the recommended pressure before initiating the cut. Set the appropriate spindle speed and feed rate corresponding to the specific workpiece material. Align the tool accurately with the workpiece surface and execute the drilling cycle while maintaining continuous coolant flow to achieve optimal hole quality and tool longevity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your machine tool is equipped with an internal coolant delivery system
• Check that the 5.50 mm diameter and 5xD depth match your specific application requirements
• Ensure your toolholding system provides the necessary rigidity and runout precision for solid carbide tools

Always use appropriate personal protective equipment, follow recommended cutting parameters for the specific metal alloy being machined, and inspect the cutting edges regularly for wear to maintain optimal machining performance.
