Drill America 3/16 Carbide Tipped Die Drill Bit, D/ADIE Series

The D/ADIE Series Carbide Tipped Die Drills are designed for drilling hardened steels in the range of 45-65 RC. These drills should be run at 75 to 100 surface feet per minute with a steady hand feed. It is a good practice to clear the drill from the hole to allow coolant to wash away the chips.

These drills, also known as "Die Drills," are particularly effective for the intended application. When drilling hardened steels within the specified Rockwell C (RC) range, the D/ADIE Series Carbide Tipped Die Drills are the optimal choice.

To achieve the best results, it is recommended to run the die drills at a speed of 75 to 100 surface feet per minute, maintaining a steady hand feed. This controlled approach helps ensure efficient and accurate drilling.

Furthermore, it is important to clear the drill from the hole periodically to allow the coolant to wash away any accumulated chips. This step helps maintain the drill's performance and extends its lifespan.

It is worth noting that the sizes under 11/64" are constructed with a solid carbide spade design, providing additional durability and precision for smaller-scale drilling applications.

In summary, the D/ADIE Series Carbide Tipped Die Drills are a specialized tool designed for drilling hardened steels within the 45-65 RC range. By following the recommended speed and feed settings, as well as the practice of clearing the drill from the hole, users can maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of these drills. The solid carbide spade construction for the smaller sizes further enhances the overall performance and versatility of the D/ADIE Series.
