Spec range: Ø1.0–12.0 mm. Higher precision than brazed-tip gun drills; widely used in medical and semiconductor industries.
Stainless steels, alloy steels, aluminum alloys, cast irons, copper alloys, and titanium alloys. Parameters should be tuned for toughness, work-hardening, and coolant conditions.
Ø1.0–12.0 mm is the sweet spot for small deep holes. The L/D ratio is commonly up to 100xD, with specific series capable of more.
Examples include small holes in stainless/titanium medical parts, probes/fixtures and flow passages in semiconductor equipment, and mold cooling channels.
Create a 1.5–3D pilot with a short drill to ensure entry accuracy. When the gun drill enters the pilot hole, keep the spindle at or below RPM 200 to avoid tip chipping from wobble.
With proper setup, peck cycles can be eliminated, improving speed and stability. Validate on your machine, coolant system, and work material.
