FANAR Solid Carbide Drill Bit 5.70mm 3xD BLUE CUT

The FANAR solid carbide drill bit with a 5.70mm diameter is a precision-engineered cutting tool designed for demanding industrial drilling applications. Constructed from high-quality solid carbide and enhanced with the specialized BLUE CUT coating, this drill bit provides exceptional hardness and thermal stability. Its 3xD length-to-diameter ratio makes it a versatile choice for creating accurate holes in a wide range of metallic materials, ensuring consistent performance and extended tool life in professional machining environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this solid carbide drill is its superior wear resistance, which is significantly improved by the BLUE CUT coating. This coating reduces friction during the drilling process, allowing for higher cutting speeds and improved chip evacuation. The solid carbide construction ensures high rigidity and minimal deflection, which is essential for maintaining tight tolerances and high surface finish quality in precision metalworking tasks.

Suitable for

• Precision drilling in steel and cast iron
• High-volume industrial manufacturing
• CNC machining centers
• General metalworking and engineering workshops

This drill bit may not be suitable for drilling into extremely soft or gummy materials where chip breaking is difficult, or for use in handheld power drills where the lack of rigidity can lead to premature tool breakage. It is specifically optimized for stable, machine-based applications.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 5.70mm
• Material: Solid carbide
• Coating: BLUE CUT
• Drilling depth: 3xD

To achieve the best results, ensure the drill is securely mounted in a high-precision collet or hydraulic chuck to minimize runout. Use appropriate cooling or lubrication to maximize the benefits of the BLUE CUT coating and to extend the life of the cutting edges. Always start with recommended feed and speed rates for the specific material being machined.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of the 5.70mm diameter with your specific hole requirements
• Ensure your machine setup provides the necessary rigidity for solid carbide tooling
• Check that your cooling system is capable of delivering fluid directly to the cutting zone

For optimal performance and tool longevity, always monitor the condition of the cutting edges and replace the drill bit at the first sign of wear to prevent damage to the workpiece.
