FANAR X-Drill Solid Carbide Drill Bit 3.30mm, 5xD, DIN 6537

The FANAR X-Drill 3.30mm solid carbide drill bit is a precision-engineered cutting tool designed for high-performance metalworking. Manufactured to meet DIN 6537 standards, this VHM drill bit features a 5xD drilling depth, making it an essential component for industrial machining and CNC operations. The specialized AT coating provides superior heat resistance and wear protection, ensuring consistent performance and extended tool life even when working with challenging materials.

Advantages

This solid carbide drill bit offers exceptional rigidity and dimensional accuracy, which are critical for maintaining tight tolerances in professional metalworking. The advanced AT coating significantly reduces friction and heat buildup during the drilling process, allowing for higher cutting speeds and improved surface finishes. Its robust construction minimizes vibration, leading to increased reliability and reduced downtime in high-volume production environments.

Suitable for

• Precision drilling in CNC machining centers
• Industrial metal fabrication and manufacturing
• Creating holes with a 5xD depth-to-diameter ratio
• High-speed drilling in various metallic materials

When it may not be suitable

This drill bit is not intended for use in hand-held power drills due to the brittle nature of solid carbide, which can fracture under manual instability. It is also not recommended for drilling very soft or abrasive non-metallic materials where specific geometry or coating requirements differ from those optimized for metal.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 3.30mm
• Drilling depth: 5xD
• Material: Solid carbide (VHM)
• Standard: DIN 6537
• Coating: AT coating

How to use

The drill bit should be mounted in a high-precision collet chuck or hydraulic holder to ensure minimal runout. Before starting the operation, ensure the workpiece is securely clamped to prevent movement. Use appropriate cooling or lubrication systems to maximize the benefits of the AT coating and to facilitate efficient chip evacuation. Always program the feed and speed rates according to the specific material being machined to prevent premature tool wear or breakage.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your machine tool provides the necessary stability for solid carbide tooling
• Ensure the collet or tool holder is compatible with the drill shank diameter
• Confirm that the 5xD drilling depth is sufficient for your specific application requirements

Usage recommendations

Always monitor the condition of the cutting edges regularly and replace the tool before significant wear occurs to maintain hole quality and prevent potential damage to the workpiece.
