PCD Drill (Incl. Through Coolant) — Then Finish the Bore Correctly
Searchers looking for a PCD drill or through-coolant PCD drill usually need abrasive aluminum or non-ferrous holemaking with long tool life. This page qualifies that need, then routes you to XRZ core products for drilling strategy and precision finishing.
Page role (traffic path — page kept)
This is a traffic and qualification page (kept, not merged). Quotation depth for finished-bore accuracy lives on the PCD reamer manufacturer page; drawing-based carbide drilling lives on solid carbide drills; one-shot drill+ream concepts live on combination drill-reamers.
When a PCD drill is the right conversation
- High-silicon or abrasive aluminum where carbide drill wear is the bottleneck
- Non-ferrous production holes where PCD edge life beats carbide on cost per hole
- Through-coolant capable machines where chip evacuation and heat at depth matter
- Programs that will still need a PCD reamer for IT-class finish after drilling
What this page is not
- Not a DIY or retail drill-bit kit page
- Not a substitute for the PCD reamer product page when tolerance/finish dominate
- Not a gun-drill / BTA catalog (deep-hole process family stays on the deep-hole series + RFQ)
- Not steel/stainless PCD drilling guidance (PCD is for non-ferrous / suitable non-metals)

- PCD reamer manufacturer — precision finish after or instead of drill-only strategies
- PCD combination drill-reamer — when one tool path should drill and finish
- Solid carbide drill manufacturer — carbide pre-hole / steel-capable drilling concepts
- Aluminum carbide drill series — non-PCD aluminum stock-removal lane
- Through-coolant carbide series — carbide internal-coolant sister page
- Custom PCD tooling overview — umbrella PCD entry
What to send for RFQ
- Material grade and silicon content if known
- Hole diameter, depth, tolerance and surface-finish target
- Through or blind; coolant pressure / through-spindle availability
- Whether a reamer finish pass is required after drilling
- Annual volume and sample needs
FAQ
Do you sell standard catalog PCD drills off the shelf?
XRZ evaluates standard, semi-standard and custom PCD drill concepts from the application. Availability is confirmed at quotation—this page is not a consumer pack list.
When do I need through-coolant on a PCD drill?
When depth, chip packing or heat make flood coolant unreliable. We confirm coolant-hole layout against diameter, flute design and machine pressure.
PCD drill vs carbide drill for aluminum?
PCD is often chosen for abrasive aluminum longevity; carbide remains common for general holemaking and steel-capable work. Many programs still finish with a PCD reamer.
Should I go straight to a combination drill-reamer?
If one cycle must create and finish the feature, open the combination page. If drill and ream are separate operations, keep both conversations.
