USER GUIDE SOLID CARBIDE DRILLS
General Recommendations 3 Flute Solid Carbide Drills
Three flute drills are used extensively on nonferrous metals
• It is mostly recommended to use an external coolant jet because of their excellent performance on these materials.
at a minimum pressure of 10 to15 bar during drilling These solid carbide drills were designed with a special
for prolonged tool life and to facilitate chip evacuation. cutting edge geometry that can be used on a broad
spectrum of materials including steel, stainless steel, high
• When machining alloy and stainless steel, it is temperature alloys, cast iron and nonferrous materials.
mostly recommended to use ER JET 2 collet to Their dimensions are according to DIN 6537 standard.
prolong tool life and prevent built-up edge. The SCCD drills are manufactured in m7 diameter
tolerance, with cylindrical shanks according to DIN 6535
• Semi-synthetic or emulsion lubricants should HA standard, 30° spiral flute helix, 140° head point angle
be used to extend tool life. and a reinforced web taper.
The drills can be used on surface applications of up to 20°
• Drilling stainless steel or high temperature alloys requires sloped entry/exit. (In this case, the drill should be held in a
high oil pressure and 7-15% mineral or vegetable based thermal shrink collet or a MAXIN power chuck). The 3 flute

• In case of chip evacuation problems or when poor 20º max

to use pecking cycle. 3 Flute Centering Drill Followed by a

• For optimal performance, it is recommended to use the SUMOCHAM/CHAMGUN
3 flute, 5xD solid carbide drills in rotating or stationary
applications with a maximum of 0.02 mm runout. 140º 140°
Larger runout will reduce drill performance
and badly affect hole quality. Advantages
The drills provide higher hole cylindricity, roundness,
• The solid drills can be clamped into any straightness, concentricity and surface finish when
of ISCAR’s tooling systems such as: compared to 2 flute solid carbide drills.

3 ISCAR MAXIN power chucks
• It is recommended to use the solid drills in SHORTIN
adapters with AA super precision collets to obtain a
high level of hole quality and prolonged drill tool life.
Balanceable adapters should be used for applications
above 10,000 RPM in order to minimize vibrations
and gain a reliable and prolonged cutting edge life.
• Interrupted cut applications reduce hole accuracy,
quality and drill life.
• See pages 179-180 for troubleshooting
guide for common problems.
• Solid carbide drills can be used on a wide range
of materials and different cutting conditions with
high reliability and performance repeatability.
This can reduce tool inventory and logistic costs.
