Solid Carbide Drills
General Application Instructions

Coolant
• To optimise their performance, drills must be adequately cooled. With the
proper coolant flow, better tool life and higher maximum effective cutting
speeds can be achieved.
• If not properly cooled, the drill will heat up rapidly. This causes the drill
diameter to expand, which in turn may cause the drill to seize inside
the hole.
• Solid carbide drills with internal coolant channels require deeper drilling
depths to be effective. The higher the coolant pressure, the better the
drilling results. Drill life and hole quality improve with ample coolant flow.
• When using drills without internal coolant flow, try to get at least one
coolant jet as parallel to the drill as possible.
• For short-hole applications, drills without internal coolant may often provide
better tool life. The tool is more solid, and it does not suffer from thermal
shock at the cutting edge.
• It is important to use high coolant concentration to provide lubricity, which
will aid in tool life, chip evacuation, and finer surface finishes.
• High-pressure coolant, either through the tool or through a line adjacent
and parallel to the tool, should always be considered for increased tool life
and production.
• Do not use multi-coolant lines. Use one line with 100% of the flow capacity
to evacuate the chips from the hole.
