BEYOND WC20-4D-SD17-WC03
Precision 4D Indexable U-Drill | 17mm Industrial CNC Tooling
Rapid 17mm Indexable Holemaking
The BEYOND WC20-4D-SD17-WC03 is a high-rigidity indexable insert drill engineered for rapid metal removal. Featuring a 17mm cutting diameter and a 4D depth-to-diameter ratio, this tool is the definitive choice for high-speed internal cooling drilling. It is optimized for heavy-duty CNC machining, providing exceptional stability in carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel.
Model Code Specification
Technical Data & Metric/Imperial Comparison
| Feature | Metric Model (mm) | Imperial Equivalent (Inch) |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting Diameter (SD) | 17.0 mm | 0.669" |
| Shank Diameter | 20.0 mm | 0.787" |
| Max Drilling Depth (4D) | 68.0 mm | 2.677" |
Recommended Cutting Parameters
Ensure peak CNC holemaking performance with these settings:
- Cutting Speed (Vc): 100 - 180 m/min (Material dependent).
- Feed Rate (f): 0.05 - 0.12 mm/rev.
- Spindle Speed (N): $N = \frac{Vc \times 1000}{\pi \times D}$
- Coolant: High-pressure internal cooling is required for chip flushing.
Premium Material & Optimized Spiral Flute
Constructed from high-performance alloy steel with specialized vacuum quenching, this WC03 insert holder ensures maximum toughness. The optimized spiral flute geometry is designed for efficient long-chip breaking, preventing clogging during 17mm fast drilling. The nickel-plated surface prevents corrosion and ensures smooth chip flow.
WC Series U-Drill: Pros & Cons
- Uses WCMX / WCMT inserts with 3 cutting edges (Economic).
- Stable drilling on uneven or sloped entry surfaces.
- Lower cutting resistance compared to SP series.
- Requires high-pressure coolant for 4D depths.
- Tolerance is roughly +0.1/+0.2mm; not for H7 bores.
Verified Customer Feedback

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this include the WCMT03 carbide inserts?
A: No, this is the 17mm U-drill body only. Inserts must be purchased separately.
Q: What is the benefit of the WC series over the SP series?
A: WC series inserts (Trigon) offer 3 cutting edges and generally have lower cutting resistance, making them better for less powerful machines.
Q: Can I use this for blind holes?
A: Yes, it is ideal for blind holes as it creates a relatively flat bottom compared to a standard drill.
Pro-Tip: Choosing the Right Depth (2D vs 4D vs 5D)
- 2D/3D: Best for shallow holes; offers maximum rigidity and highest feed rates.
- 4D (This Model): The industrial sweet spot. Versatile for most deep-hole CNC machining needs.
- 5D: Specialized long reach drilling. Requires extreme coolant pressure to maintain hole straightness.

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.
