BEYOND SP C25-3D-SD18-SP06
18mm 3D Heavy-Duty U-Drill | Precision Blind Hole Boring Specialist
Industrial-Grade 18mm Indexable Boring Solution
The BEYOND SP C25-3D-SD18-SP06 is a high-performance indexable insert drill engineered for maximum stability. With an 18mm cutting diameter and a 3D depth ratio (54mm reach), this tool is the primary choice for blind hole machining. Utilizing internal cooling and a precision-engineered spiral flute, it ensures rapid chip evacuation and superior surface finish in CNC boring operations.

Forged 20CrMnTi Alloy & High-Efficiency Spiral Flute
Industrial Build: This indexable drill body is forged from high-grade 20CrMnTi alloy steel and vacuum quenched (HRC 52-55) for maximum rigidity. This core strength is critical for large diameter drilling stability. The surface features a Black Oxide finish to resist corrosion and extreme thermal friction.
Advanced Slot Design: The U-drill utilizes an optimized spiral flute (U-groove) that creates an unobstructed pathway for chip removal. Combined with internal cooling holes, it allows high-pressure coolant to flush metal chips directly out of the bore, which is essential for successful blind hole machining.
Recommended Cutting Parameters (18mm 3D)
Guidelines for Steel and Cast Iron applications. Adjust based on CNC rigidity:
Rotation Speed (N) = (Vc × 1000) / (π × 18)
Vc = Cutting Speed | π ≈ 3.14 | D = 18mm
- Cutting Speed (Vc): 130 - 210 m/min
- Feed Rate (f): 0.05 - 0.12 mm/rev
- Coolant: Internal cooling is mandatory for 18mm 3D deep-hole drilling.

SP Series Indexable Drill: Advantages & Considerations
- Uses 4-edge SPMG square inserts for lower cost-per-edge.
- Optimized for Blind Hole Machining (Flatter hole bottom profile).
- Reinforced body core provides maximum rigidity for 18mm diameters.
- Requires high horsepower CNC machines to drive indexable drills effectively.
- Performance is highly dependent on consistent internal coolant pressure.
Technical Q&A
Q: Why choose SP over WC for blind hole drilling?
A: SP square inserts create a significantly flatter bottom. The SP body is also designed with a thicker core, which is essential for stability in large diameter boring.
Q: Is this tool body compatible with all SPMG06 inserts?
A: It is designed for standard SPMG060204 carbide inserts. Using BEYOND inserts is recommended for the best fit.
Q: Can this be used on a manual lathe?
A: It is highly recommended for CNC machining due to the high feed rate and torque requirements.
Machinist Tip: SP vs. WC U-Drills
SP Series (Square): The professional choice for Blind Hole (Blind Bores). Square inserts create a flatter bottom and offer maximum core strength for large diameter machining.
WC Series (Trigon): Primarily used for Through Hole applications. WC inserts offer more cutting edges but the body core is thinner, making it less rigid for 18mm 3D tasks.
Technical FAQ & Buying Guide
Absolutely. Our CNC carbide inserts (including CNMG, WNMG, DNMG, and APMT series) are manufactured strictly adhering to international ISO/ANSI specifications. A CNMG 120408 from OYYU BEYOND will flawlessly fit any standard turning tool holder or indexable tool from major global brands like Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal, Iscar, Walter, or SECO, providing a highly cost-effective premium alternative without sacrificing tolerance or tool life.
We offer optimized CVD and PVD multi-layer coatings for different ISO material groups:
- For Carbon/Alloy Steel (ISO P): Choose our thick multi-layer CVD coated grades (e.g., Al2O3 + TiN). They provide exceptional crater wear resistance and thermal barriers during high-speed dry or wet roughing.
- For Stainless Steel (ISO M): Choose our nano-structured PVD coated grades with sharp, positive chipbreakers (like -TM or -MA). This combination prevents work hardening and effectively controls sticky chips.
The optimal cutting parameters vary depending on the workpiece hardness and operation type:
- For General Steel Turnings: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) ranges from 150 to 280 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.15 to 0.45 mm/rev.
- For Stainless Steel Finishing: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) is 120 to 200 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.10 to 0.25 mm/rev.Always adjust parameters based on early wear patterns: increase $V_c$ if built-up edge occurs, or reduce $V_c$ if severe flank wear is observed.
