Stub-Length Carbide Twist Drill

This Stub-Length 2-Flute Solid Carbide Twist Drill is designed for precision shallow-hole machining where high rigidity, stable positioning and consistent hole dimensions are required. Its compact flute section and short overall length help reduce tool deflection and sensitivity to runout during CNC drilling. Manufactured from fine-grain solid carbide, the drill provides cutting-edge strength and dimensional stability for repeat production. A same-diameter straight-shank design supports simple, rigid clamping, while coated and uncoated configurations can be selected according to the workpiece material and machining conditions.

Key Configuration

Compact Stub-Length Design

Short flute length and compact overall length improve rigidity and help reduce bending during precision shallow-hole drilling.

2-Flute Spiral Geometry

Two precision-ground spiral flutes provide cutting-edge support and chip space for blind-hole and through-hole operations.

Same-Diameter Straight Shank

Each listed size group uses a cylindrical straight shank with D = d for a simple and stable clamping configuration.

Key Product Advantages

High-Rigidity Holemaking

The short cutting section reduces unnecessary unsupported length, supporting stable entry and lower tool deflection in shallow-hole machining.

Precision Hole Consistency

Fine-grain carbide and a compact tool structure support repeatable hole position, diameter and straightness under a rigid, low-runout setup.

Controlled Chip Evacuation

Two spiral flutes provide chip space for short blind and through holes when coolant or air delivery and drilling conditions are properly matched.

Material-Specific Surface Options

Coated, uncoated or polished configurations can be selected together with point and edge preparation for the confirmed workpiece material.

Remarque concernant la taille : L1 is the flute length, not the recommended maximum drilling depth. Actual hole depth should allow sufficient chip space and drill-point clearance, especially in blind-hole machining.

Stub-Length Precision-Hole Guidance

  • Minimize Tool Overhang: Use the shortest practical unsupported length to preserve the rigidity advantage of the stub-length design.
  • Control Holder Runout: Use a precision collet, hydraulic holder or shrink-fit holder with low spindle and tool runout.
  • Use a Stable Entry Surface: Flat entry is preferred; curved, inclined or interrupted surfaces may require spot drilling or dedicated point geometry.
  • Maintain Chip Evacuation: Use suitable coolant or air delivery and leave sufficient chip space in blind holes.

Recommended Starting Cutting Parameters

Starting speed and feed should be selected for the exact diameter, workpiece material, coating, hole depth, machine rigidity, holder runout and coolant condition. Begin conservatively and adjust after checking entry stability, chip evacuation, hole quality and tool wear.

Product FAQs

Product-specific information about stub-length drilling, precision-hole applications, tool rigidity, chip evacuation, material selection and available custom configurations.

What is a stub-length solid carbide drill used for?

A stub-length drill uses a shorter flute and reduced unsupported cutting length to increase rigidity. It is suitable for precision shallow holes, positioning holes and short drilling operations where hole location, diameter stability and controlled entry are more important than extended drilling depth.

Why choose a stub-length drill instead of a standard-length drill?

The shorter cutting section reduces tool deflection and sensitivity to vibration. When the required hole depth is limited, a stub-length configuration can provide higher rigidity and more stable entry than using a longer drill with unnecessary flute length.

How does the 2-flute geometry support precision hole drilling?

The 2-flute geometry provides a practical balance between cutting-edge support and chip space. With controlled point geometry, low runout and rigid toolholding, it supports stable penetration and consistent chip evacuation in short precision-hole operations.

What machining conditions are important for precision holes?

Low spindle and holder runout, a rigid setup, clean clamping surfaces and the shortest practical tool overhang are important. Stable entry, appropriate coolant delivery and continuous chip evacuation should also be maintained to support hole size and position consistency.

Can the diameter, flute length, point geometry and coating be customized?

Yes. Cutting diameter, flute length, shank diameter, overall length, point geometry, edge preparation and coating can be reviewed according to the required hole depth, workpiece material, tolerance and machine setup. Non-standard dimensions can also be evaluated from a customer drawing.

What information is required for a quotation?

Please provide the cutting diameter, finished-hole tolerance, hole depth, flute length, workpiece material and hardness, coolant condition, machine type and required quantity. For non-standard dimensions or special hole requirements, a drawing is recommended before quotation.

Ordering & OEM FAQs

General information for trial orders, mixed sizes, private labeling and repeat distributor supply.

Do you accept small trial orders?

Yes. Small trial quantities can be reviewed for hole-quality testing, dimensional verification and tool-life evaluation before larger repeat orders.

Can mixed drill sizes be ordered together?

Yes. Different cutting diameters and stub-length configurations can normally be combined in one order when the carbide, coating and production requirements are compatible. Mixed-size orders are suitable for distributors and multi-size application testing.

Is OEM laser marking available?

Yes. Custom laser marking for logos, item numbers, tool sizes and batch identification can be reviewed together with private labels and OEM packaging requirements.

What is the typical production lead time?

Lead time depends on diameter, flute length, coating, quantity and whether the drill uses a standard or custom configuration. Final production scheduling is confirmed after the dimensions and technical requirements are approved.
