FANAR Solid Carbide Drill Bit 1.80 mm, 3xD, HA Shank

The FANAR solid carbide drill bit with a diameter of 1.80 mm is a high-performance cutting tool engineered for precision drilling in demanding industrial environments. Constructed from premium solid carbide (VHM), this drill bit offers superior hardness and thermal stability, ensuring consistent performance and extended tool life when machining a wide range of metallic materials. Its 3xD drilling depth capability and standard HA shank design provide the necessary rigidity to maintain hole accuracy and minimize vibration during operation.

Advantages

This solid carbide drill bit excels in providing exceptional wear resistance and structural integrity, which are critical for maintaining tight tolerances in professional metalworking. The advanced geometry of the tool facilitates efficient chip evacuation, reducing the risk of clogging and heat buildup during the drilling process. By utilizing high-quality carbide material, the drill bit ensures reliable performance and high-quality surface finishes, ultimately increasing productivity in automated or manual machining setups.

Suitable for

• Precision drilling in steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals
• Industrial manufacturing and CNC machining applications
• Creating accurate hole geometries in metal components
• High-volume production environments requiring consistent tool performance

When it may not be suitable

This drill bit is not intended for use with handheld power drills due to the brittle nature of solid carbide, which can fracture under lateral pressure or misalignment. It is also not recommended for drilling through hardened materials that exceed the hardness rating of the carbide substrate.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 1.80 mm
• Material: Solid Carbide (VHM)
• Drilling depth: 3xD
• Shank type: HA (straight shank)

How to use

To achieve optimal results, ensure the drill bit is securely mounted in a high-precision collet or hydraulic chuck to minimize runout. The workpiece must be rigidly clamped to prevent movement or vibration. Begin the drilling process with appropriate cutting speeds and feed rates tailored to the specific material being machined. Use a suitable coolant or lubricant to assist in chip removal and to manage thermal expansion, which helps preserve the cutting edge of the tool.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your machine tool is compatible with an HA shank
• Ensure the 3xD drilling depth is sufficient for your specific application requirements
• Confirm the material compatibility with your workpiece
• Use only in stable, vibration-free machining environments

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the drill bit for signs of wear or chipping before each use. Replace the tool immediately if performance degrades to prevent damage to the workpiece or the machine spindle.
