FANAR solid carbide drill bit 2.00 mm, 5xD, HA3 coating, 21/57 mm shank

FANAR solid carbide drill bit with a 2.00 mm cutting diameter is designed for precision drilling in metalworking and industrial applications. The 5xD geometry provides a drilling depth up to five times the diameter, while the HA3 (Blue Cut) coating increases wear resistance and maintains cutting performance. The tool is supplied with a stepped shank configured as 21/57 mm to accommodate a range of tool holders and collet systems.

Advantages

The solid carbide substrate ensures high stiffness and accuracy when drilling small diameters, reducing deflection and improving hole quality. The HA3 coating enhances surface hardness and reduces friction, extending tool life under continuous or intermittent cutting conditions. The 5xD flute length offers a balance between reach and rigidity for deeper holes without excessive vibration. The stepped shank supports secure clamping and compatibility with standard toolholding solutions.

Suitable for

• Precision through-holes and blind holes in steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals
• High-volume production and automated drilling processes
• Applications requiring small-diameter, tight-tolerance holes

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 2.00 mm
• Drilling depth ratio: 5×D
• Coating: HA3 (Blue Cut)
• Material: solid carbide
• Shank configuration: stepped shank, 21/57 mm

How to use

Secure the drill in a compatible holder or collet that accepts the specified stepped shank. Use appropriate coolant or cutting fluid to manage heat and chip evacuation, especially when drilling stainless steel or other tough alloys. Start at a moderate spindle speed and feed rate suitable for a 2.00 mm carbide drill, then adjust parameters based on material, machine rigidity, and hole quality. Retract periodically for chip breakage when drilling deep holes or use peck drilling cycles if supported by the machine control.

Usage recommendations

For best results, select spindle speeds and feeds matched to the workpiece material and maintain consistent coolant flow. Use rigid fixturing and minimize overhang to reduce runout. Inspect holes and tool condition regularly and replace the drill when wear affects hole size or surface finish.
