Drill bit FANAR WIERTLO WEGLIK Ø3.00 mm, 14/63 mm shank, 3xD, HA6 VHM Blue Cut Inox

Solid carbide drill bit FANAR WIERTLO WEGLIK Ø3.00 mm with a 14/63 mm shank is designed for precision metalworking where small-diameter holes and high wear resistance are required. The VHM (solid carbide) construction combined with HA6 geometry and Blue Cut Inox coating provides stable performance when machining stainless steels and other difficult-to-cut alloys. The tool is intended for applications needing consistent hole quality, long tool life and reduced rework in production and toolroom environments.

Advantages

The HA6 geometry ensures reliable centring and chip evacuation at the specified 3xD drilling depth, reducing the risk of tool breakage in small diameters. Blue Cut Inox coating increases surface hardness and provides thermal and chemical resistance tailored for stainless steels, improving flank wear behaviour and extending tool life. The 14/63 mm shank offers secure clamping in standard tool holders and reduces runout, supporting accurate hole size and straightness.

Suitable for

• Drilling stainless steel (austenitic and martensitic grades) and other corrosion-resistant alloys
• Precision metalworking in toolrooms and small-batch production
• Industrial production lines requiring repeatable small-diameter holes
• Operations where high wear resistance and reduced tool change frequency are important

Key specifications

• Cutting material: solid carbide (VHM)
• Nominal diameter: 3.00 mm
• Drilling depth: 3×D (three times diameter)
• Shank style and length: stepped/14 mm diameter with 63 mm overall shank length
• Geometry: HA6 for improved centring and chip control
• Coating: Blue Cut Inox for stainless steel and hard-to-machine alloys

How to use

Secure the drill in a properly sized collet or tool holder, ensuring minimal runout and firm clamping of the 14 mm shank section. Select cutting parameters appropriate for the specific grade of material being machined — consult material-specific speed and feed tables for carbide tools. Use a suitable cutting fluid or coolant when machining stainless steels to manage temperature and improve chip evacuation. For a 3×D hole, peck drilling or controlled feed cycles can help remove chips and avoid built-up edge, especially in sticky alloys.

Usage recommendations

Start with conservative cutting speeds and feeds for the first holes to verify machine rigidity and workpiece fixturing. Monitor tool wear and replace the drill when wear affects hole diameter or surface finish. When possible, use through-coolant or external high-pressure coolant and chip breakers in the program for improved chip control with 3xD depths.
