Designed for stable deep-hole drilling in stainless steel materials, this 12xD carbide drill combines imported MG grade 0.8 μm carbide, ALTISIXN wear-resistant coating, optimized point geometry, reinforced deep-hole flute structure, and internal coolant support to improve chip evacuation, reduce work hardening, control cutting heat, and maintain reliable hole straightness in long-depth stainless steel machining.
The 12xD carbide drill for stainless steel is designed for deep-hole machining applications where chip evacuation, heat control, hole straightness, and edge stability are critical. Compared with 5xD or 8xD drilling, 12xD stainless steel drilling has a much longer chip evacuation path and places higher demands on coolant delivery, flute rigidity, drilling stability, and process control.
Stainless steel materials such as 304, 316L, 17-4PH, and duplex stainless steel have high toughness, poor thermal conductivity, and strong work-hardening tendency. In 12xD deep-hole drilling, chips must be removed smoothly to avoid chip clogging, heat buildup, cutting edge overload, and unstable hole quality. If cutting heat and chip evacuation are not controlled, the drill may face rapid wear, burr formation, hole deviation, or premature failure.
This 12xD carbide drill is manufactured from imported MG grade 0.8 μm tungsten carbide rods with 10% cobalt content, supporting high-speed cutting and stable tool strength. Combined with ALTISIXN wear-resistant coating, optimized point geometry, reinforced deep-hole flute structure, controlled edge preparation, and German Walter precision grinding, it helps improve deep-hole drilling stability, reduce work hardening, protect the cutting edge, and maintain consistent hole quality in stainless steel components.

Key Features
Made from imported MG grade 0.8 μm tungsten carbide with 10% cobalt content.
The fine carbide grain structure helps support tool rigidity, edge strength, and stable cutting performance in deep stainless steel hole machining.
ALTISIXN coating helps improve wear resistance, heat resistance, and edge protection during stainless steel drilling.
It supports more stable cutting performance, reduces premature edge wear, and helps resist heat-related tool damage in 12xD applications.
Optimized drill point geometry supports stable entry and accurate hole positioning.
A stable drill point helps reduce drill walking and minimizes work hardening during the initial cutting stage.
Reinforced flute geometry improves chip evacuation and tool rigidity in 12xD drilling.
The variable core design and back taper help reduce chip clogging, protect the cutting edge, and maintain hole straightness.
This 12xD carbide drill for stainless steel is suitable for deep-hole machining in CNC machining centers and production drilling applications. It is especially useful for stainless steel components where long chip evacuation, internal coolant delivery, heat control, work-hardening resistance, hole straightness, and batch stability are important.

Our carbide drills are ground on German WALTER 5-axis grinding machines for sharp cutting edges, stable accuracy, and smooth drilling performance.
We use WALTER HELICHECK PLUS for contour inspection, keeping profile and radius control within 3 μm for reliable geometric precision.
Each carbide drill is inspected at 300x magnification to check edge quality and avoid chipping or saw-tooth defects before shipment.
Manual drill point honing and automatic rubber-bonded diamond abrasive polishing help improve tool life and control edge consistency within ±0.003 mm.
Common Questions
12xD means the drill is designed for hole depths up to 12 times the drill diameter. It is used for deeper hole machining where chip evacuation, tool rigidity, coolant delivery, and hole straightness are more demanding.
Yes. This 12xD carbide drill is suitable for 304, 316L, 17-4PH, duplex stainless steel, and other stainless steel alloys under suitable machining conditions.
This drill uses ALTISIXN wear-resistant coating, which helps improve edge protection, heat resistance, and tool life in stainless steel deep-hole drilling applications.
An 8xD drill is used for deep-hole drilling, while a 12xD drill is designed for even deeper holes with longer chip evacuation distance. 12xD drilling requires stronger coolant support, better flute rigidity, more careful runout control, and stable process conditions.
Yes. Internal coolant is strongly recommended for 12xD stainless steel drilling because it helps remove chips, control cutting heat, reduce chip clogging, and maintain stable hole quality in deeper holes.
For better starting stability and hole accuracy, a pilot hole or guide hole is recommended in many 12xD drilling applications. The actual process should be confirmed according to drill diameter, machine condition, stainless steel grade, and tolerance requirement.
Yes. We support customization based on drawings, stainless steel grade, diameter, hole depth, coolant method, ALTISIXN coating requirement, shank size, and drilling application.
