BEYOND WC40-3D-SD46-WC08
Professional 3D Indexable U-Drill | 46mm Industrial CNC Tooling
High-Efficiency 46mm Indexable Holemaking
The BEYOND WC40-3D-SD46-WC08 is a high-performance indexable insert drill engineered for rapid metal removal in heavy-duty CNC machining. As a specialized fast hole U-drill, it features a 46mm cutting diameter with a 3D depth ratio. Optimized for high-speed internal cooling drilling, it provides exceptional stability and efficient chip evacuation in carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel.
Model Code Specification
Technical Data & Units Comparison
| Feature | Metric Model (mm) | Imperial Equivalent (Inch) |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting Diameter (SD) | 46.0 mm | 1.811" |
| Shank Diameter | 40.0 mm | 1.575" |
| Drilling Depth (3D) | 138.0 mm | 5.433" |
Recommended Cutting Parameters
Achieve optimal metal boring performance with these baseline settings:
- Cutting Speed (Vc): 100 - 160 m/min (Material dependent).
- Feed Rate (f): 0.08 - 0.18 mm/rev.
- Rotation Speed: $$N = \frac{Vc \times 1000}{\pi \times 46}$$
- Coolant Strategy: High-pressure internal cooling is mandatory for effective chip flushing.
Premium 20CrMnTi Steel & Optimized Flute Design
Constructed from high-performance quenched alloy steel, this WC08 insert holder ensures maximum toughness and vibration damping. The optimized spiral flute geometry is designed for efficient long-chip breaking, preventing clogging during 46mm fast drilling. The nickel-plated surface prevents corrosion and ensures smooth chip flow even in demanding metal boring environments.
WC Series U-Drill: Pros & Cons
- Uses WCMX / WCMT inserts with 3 cutting edges (Excellent economy).
- Stable drilling on uneven or sloped entry surfaces.
- Lower cutting resistance compared to larger SP series.
- Requires high-pressure coolant for deep 3D depths.
- Tolerance is roughly +0.15/+0.25mm; not for high-precision H7 bores.
Verified Customer Feedback
"Robust body. Holds the WC08 inserts with perfect precision. Highly recommended."
- Hans B., Germany ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Impressive performance in stainless steel. The 46mm bore is very consistent."
- Sarah J., Canada ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Great value. Cheaper than Big Brand equivalents with the same life span."
- Takeo M., Japan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Excellent chip evacuation. No vibration even at full 3D depth."
- James L., Australia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Solid tool holder. Surface finish of the holes is quite good for a U-drill."
- Ricardo S., Brazil ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this include the carbide inserts?
A: No, this is the 46mm U-drill body only. WCMX/WCMT 08 inserts are sold separately.
Q: Can I use this on a conventional lathe?
A: Yes, provided you have a steady 40mm holder and high-pressure coolant supply.
Q: What is the benefit of the WC Trigon insert?
A: It provides 3 usable cutting edges, offering better cost-efficiency than 2-edged square inserts.
Pro-Tip: Choosing the Right Depth (2D to 5D)
- 2D/3D (This Model): Best for shallow to medium holes; offers maximum rigidity for very high feed rates.
- 4D: The universal standard for general industrial applications.
- 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.
