Recommended Cutting Parameters
Optimize your CNC metal drilling performance with these reference values:
- Cutting Speed (Vc): 110 - 180 m/min (Material dependent).
- Feed Rate (f): 0.07 - 0.15 mm/rev.
- Coolant Requirement: High-pressure internal cooling is mandatory for 5D depth to ensure effective chip evacuation.
Advanced Material & Flute Geometry
Constructed from high-strength alloy steel with specialized anti-vibration quenching, the BEYOND U-Drill offers exceptional durability. The spiral flute geometry is wide-designed for "forced" chip removal, preventing chip-packing during deep hole drilling. Using WC08 carbide inserts, this holder features four cutting edges per insert, making it a highly cost-effective CNC tooling solution.
WC Type U-Drill: Pros & Cons
- 4 cutting edges per insert (Economic).
- Better stability on uneven entry surfaces.
- Widely available WCMX/WCMT insert compatibility.
- Slightly lower feed rates than SP types.
- Higher thrust requirements for large diameters.
Pro-Tip: Choosing Drill Depth (2D to 5D)
The L/D ratio determines stability and application range:
- 2D/3D: Maximum rigidity. Best for high-speed shallow holes.
- 4D: The universal standard for general-purpose machining.
- 5D (This Model): Specialized deep-hole drill. Requires high-pressure internal coolant and precise spindle alignment to ensure straightness.
