Micro Carbide Drills for Small Holes

Confirm diameter, L/D, workpiece material, guidance/coolant, and runout limits, then send a drawing for micro carbide drill RFQ.

  • Confirm diameter and L/D before locking flute length or shank
  • Match workpiece material to guidance, chip exit, and coolant path
  • Review clamping runout and inspection method before production RFQ

Diameter and L/D come first

Lock finished hole diameter (or drill diameter) and required depth or L/D before flute length or shank. Unconfirmed stock diameters are not listed as standard range, blank cells mean to your drawing.

  • Diameter Finished hole or drill Ø. Match print tolerance, do not round to a “close” catalog row.
  • L/D or depth Depth relative to diameter drives flute length, peck strategy, and coolant path.
  • Guidance Bushing, pilot, or free entry, state which applies on the RFQ.
  • Related hubs Broader drills on carbide drill bits and solid carbide drill; process context on small-diameter holemaking.

Workpiece material

Material class changes chip behavior and heat. Do not claim one micro drill suits every alloy.

Sticky

Aluminum / copper / soft alloys

Chip packing and built-up edge dominate. Prefer clear chip exit and confirm coolant or MQL on the print.

Structural

Steels & stainless

State hardness / condition and whether the cut is continuous or interrupted. Runout and peck strategy matter more as L/D grows.

Hard / abrasive

Hardened or abrasive stock

Send hardness and duty description. Quotation follows engineering review, not a published universal hardness limit.

Guidance, chip evacuation, and coolant

Treat guidance, chip exit, and coolant as review conditions, not optional footnotes.

Chip evacuationDeep L/D packs chips; peck may be requiredNote depth, peck plan, and flute style if known
Coolant pathFlood vs through-tool vs MQL changes heat and chip exitCoolant type + available pressure if known

Clamping runout and inspection

Micro drills fail early when tip TIR is ignored. Holder type and inspection method belong on the RFQ.

What to decide here vs later

Here: diameter, L/D, material, coolant path, and holder type.

Later (engineering): exact series, flute geometry, and supply confirmation.

Custom and RFQ

Upload a hole section when possible. Engineering confirms diameter, L/D, and runout assumptions before locking a series. Unconfirmed stock codes are not listed as standard range.

  • Known series + print: send both for cross-check and supply confirmation.
  • Only a workpiece print: send material, hole Ø/depth, coolant path, and holder type for preliminary selection.
  • Quotation timing: after complete drawing information, quotation typically takes 1–2 working days (quotation only, not production lead time).

Micro carbide drill FAQ

Answers state decision conditions and next steps. They do not replace application approval.

What diameter and L/D should I send?

Send finished hole diameter (or drill diameter), required depth or L/D, material, and whether peck or continuous feed is planned. Blank catalog cells mean confirm from drawing, not a published universal range.

Do micro carbide drills need special coolant?

Often yes for deeper L/D. State coolant type (flood / through-tool / MQL) and available pressure if known. Guidance and chip exit dominate over brand claims.

How do I check clamping runout?

State holder type (collet / shrink / hydraulic), target TIR at the tip if known, and inspection method. Unverified runout claims are not published as stock specs.

Why is there no public stock list or price?

HENTRY quotes from application data and approved supply scope. Unconfirmed series rows are not shown as standard range. Quotation typically follows within 1–2 working days after complete drawing information.
