Drill bit FANAR WIERTLO WEGLIK Ø5.00 mm 70/118 mm 12xD HA6 VHM Blue Cut IK

FANAR WIERTLO WEGLIK solid carbide drill bit Ø5.00 mm, overall length 118 mm and working length 70 mm, with a 12×D length ratio, is engineered for precision drilling where a combination of carbide cutting performance and extended reach is required. The HA6 VHM grade with Blue Cut coating and IK designation provides high wear resistance and stable cutting behavior in demanding metalworking tasks. This tool is intended for machining operations that require accurate hole placement and consistent diameter control in harder materials.

Advantages

The solid carbide construction delivers high rigidity and dimensional stability during drilling, while the Blue Cut coating reduces friction and enhances tool life. The 12×D long-reach geometry allows access to deep or hard-to-reach features without sacrificing hole quality. HA6 VHM grade ensures a consistent cutting edge and reliable performance under typical machining feeds and speeds for metalworking applications.

Suitable for

• Precision through-holes and blind holes in steel and hardened alloys
• Machine tool operations requiring extended reach (deep hole drilling)
• General metal fabrication and component manufacturing
• CNC machining centers and drilling fixtures where rigid tooling is needed

How to use

Select appropriate spindle speed and feed rate for a 5.00 mm solid carbide drill in the specific workpiece material, taking into account the long-reach geometry. Secure the workpiece and use a rigid drill holder to minimize runout. Apply suitable cutting fluid or coolant to reduce heat and evacuate chips, especially when drilling deeper holes. Start with a pilot or spot drill if precise hole position and entry are required. Monitor tool wear and replace the drill when edge degradation affects hole quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results in steel and harder alloys, use moderate cutting speeds appropriate for carbide tooling, maintain consistent coolant flow, and ensure minimal tool overhang beyond what is required for the operation to reduce deflection and maintain hole accuracy.
