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.
Achieve maximum stability with a high-rigidity C25 side-lock holder:

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
When choosing CNC cutting tools, check the full model code, dimensions, grade and selected variant before ordering. Do not rely on the product image alone.
For carbide inserts, tool holders, drills and end mills, compare the mounting dimensions, connection type and manufacturer's specifications with your holder or machine. If you are unsure, share your existing part number and machining application with us before ordering.
Check the product listing for the selling unit, pack quantity and included components. If it is unclear whether the price is per piece or per pack, or whether a tool body and inserts are sold separately, contact us before purchasing.
Select cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut using the relevant manufacturer's recommendations for your tool model, workpiece material, machine conditions and coolant method. The same settings are not suitable for every product or application.
