L1 is the flute length, not the maximum blind-hole depth. Reserve space for the drill point and chip evacuation.

Aluminum Drilling Guidance

  • Continuous Feed: Avoid rubbing and dwell, which can increase built-up edge.
  • Direct Lubrication: Aim coolant or lubricant toward the drill point and flute entrance.
  • Chip Monitoring: Check chip curling and flute wrapping during initial trials.
  • Controlled Pecking: Use pecking only when continuous chip evacuation cannot be maintained.

Product FAQs

Product-specific information about aluminum applications, mirror-polished flute geometry, available configurations, coolant selection and customization for this solid carbide twist drill.

What materials is this drill designed for?

This drill is primarily designed for aluminum and aluminum alloys. It can also be configured for copper, brass and selected non-ferrous materials where low cutting resistance, clean hole quality and reliable chip evacuation are required.

What are the benefits of the mirror-polished flutes?

The mirror-polished flute surface reduces friction and helps prevent soft aluminum chips from adhering to the flute walls. This supports smoother chip evacuation, less built-up edge and more consistent hole quality during production.

Why is a 2-flute geometry suitable for aluminum drilling?

The 2-flute geometry provides sufficient flute space for evacuating the larger and more continuous chips produced when drilling aluminum. Its sharp cutting edges also help reduce cutting resistance, burr formation and material adhesion.

What sizes and drilling depths are available?

Standard and custom diameters can be supplied according to the product series. Common 3D and 5D configurations are available, while the diameter, flute length, overall length, shank dimensions and drilling depth can be reviewed for custom orders.

Is an uncoated or DLC-coated drill better for aluminum?

A mirror-polished uncoated drill is suitable for many general aluminum applications because it maintains a sharp cutting edge and low-friction flute surface. A DLC-coated version can be selected when improved wear resistance, reduced material adhesion or longer tool life is required.

What coolant method is recommended?

External coolant, minimum-quantity lubrication or air assistance can be selected according to the aluminum grade, hole depth and machine setup. The coolant method should provide sufficient lubrication and chip evacuation while reducing chip adhesion at the cutting edges.

What information is required for a quotation?

Please provide the required diameter, drilling depth, flute length, overall length, aluminum grade, coating preference and estimated quantity. A drawing or tool sample is recommended for custom dimensions or non-standard geometry.

Ordering & OEM FAQs

General information for trial orders, mixed-size purchasing, private labeling and production scheduling.

Do you accept small trial orders?

Yes. Small sample or trial orders are welcomed for evaluating chip evacuation, hole quality, cutting stability and tool life before committing to volume purchasing.

Can mixed sizes be ordered together?

Yes. Standard and custom sizes can be combined in one order when the geometry, production and coating requirements are compatible. Mixed-size purchasing is suitable for distributors, wholesalers and batch inventory planning.

Can the dimensions and drill geometry be customized?

Yes. The cutting diameter, flute length, overall length, shank diameter, point geometry, flute profile and edge preparation can be reviewed according to the workpiece material, hole requirements and customer drawing.

Is OEM laser marking available?

Yes. Custom shank laser marking such as logo, model number, specifications or batch identification can be reviewed together with OEM labels, individual tool protection and branded packaging requirements.

What is the typical production lead time?

Standard stock items normally have a shorter lead time, while custom dimensions, DLC coating and special OEM orders require additional production time. The exact schedule is confirmed according to specification, quantity, coating and current production capacity.
