Drill America 3/8 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 a speed of 75 to 100 surface feet per minute with a steady hand feed. It is recommended to clear the drill from the hole to allow the coolant to wash away the chips, as this is a good practice. Notably, sizes under 11/64" are of solid carbide spade construction.

These drills, also known as "Die Drills," are versatile tools that can handle a wide range of hardened steel applications. By maintaining a steady hand feed and ensuring the drill is cleared from the hole, users can optimize the performance and efficiency of these specialized carbide-tipped tools.

The solid carbide spade construction of the smaller sizes, below 11/64", provides enhanced durability and cutting power for precision drilling tasks. This design feature ensures the D/ADIE Series Carbide Tipped Die Drills can tackle even the most challenging hardened steel components with precision and reliability.

Whether you're working on intricate die-casting projects or need a reliable solution for drilling hardened steels, the D/ADIE Series Carbide Tipped Die Drills offer a robust and versatile option. By running the drills at the recommended speed of 75 to 100 surface feet per minute and employing a steady hand feed, users can achieve exceptional results while maintaining the integrity of the drill and the workpiece.

The ability to clear the drill from the hole and allow the coolant to wash away the chips is a crucial step in the drilling process. This practice helps to extend the tool's lifespan, prevent premature wear, and ensure a smooth, efficient drilling operation.

In summary, the D/ADIE Series Carbide Tipped Die Drills are designed for drilling hardened steels in the range of 45-65 RC. These specialized drills should be run at a speed of 75 to 100 surface feet per minute with a steady hand feed, and it is recommended to clear the drill from the hole to allow the coolant to wash away the chips. For the smaller sizes, under 11/64", the solid carbide spade construction provides enhanced durability and cutting power for precision drilling tasks.
