Product Overview

15xD Solid Carbide Drill —Engineered for Extra-Deep Stainless Steel Hole Machining

The 15xD carbide drill for stainless steel is designed for extra-deep-hole machining applications where chip evacuation, heat control, hole straightness, and process stability are critical. Compared with 12xD drilling, 15xD stainless steel drilling has a longer chip evacuation distance and higher requirements for internal coolant pressure, flute rigidity, spindle runout control, and machine stability.

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 15xD extra-deep-hole drilling, chips must travel a longer path before leaving the hole, while cutting heat is more difficult to remove from the cutting zone. If chip evacuation, coolant delivery, and cutting load are not controlled, the drill may face chip clogging, edge overload, hole deviation, burr formation, or premature tool failure.

This 15xD 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 extra-deep-hole flute structure, controlled edge preparation, and German Walter precision grinding, it helps improve drilling stability, reduce work hardening, protect the cutting edge, and maintain consistent hole quality in stainless steel deep-hole applications.

Engineering Details That Improve 15xD Stainless Steel Drilling

Premium Carbide Material

Premium Carbide Material

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 extra-deep stainless steel hole machining.

ALTISIXN Wear-Resistant Coating

ALTISIXN Wear-Resistant Coating

ALTISIXN coating helps improve wear resistance, heat resistance, and cutting edge protection during stainless steel drilling.
It supports more stable cutting performance, reduces premature edge wear, and helps resist heat-related tool damage in 15xD extra-deep-hole applications.

Optimized Point Geometry

Optimized Point Geometry

Optimized drill point geometry supports stable entry and accurate hole positioning.
A stable drill point helps reduce drill walking, improve starting accuracy, and minimize work hardening at the hole entrance before long-depth drilling.

Deep-Hole Flute Structure

Deep-Hole Flute Structure

Reinforced flute geometry improves chip evacuation and tool rigidity in 15xD drilling.
The variable core design and back taper help reduce chip clogging, lower friction inside the hole, protect the cutting edge, and maintain more stable hole quality over longer drilling depths.

Frequently Asked Questions

15xD means the drill is designed for hole depths up to 15 times the drill diameter. It is used for extra-deep-hole machining where chip evacuation, coolant delivery, tool rigidity, heat control, and hole straightness are more demanding.

Yes. This 15xD 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 extra-deep-hole drilling applications.

A 12xD drill is used for deep-hole drilling, while a 15xD drill is designed for longer and more demanding holes. 15xD drilling requires stronger coolant support, better flute rigidity, more careful runout control, and more stable machine conditions.

Yes. Internal coolant is strongly recommended for 15xD stainless steel drilling because it helps remove chips, control cutting heat, reduce chip clogging, and maintain stable hole quality in extra-deep holes.

For better starting stability and hole accuracy, a pilot hole or guide hole is recommended in many 15xD drilling applications. The actual process should be confirmed according to drill diameter, machine condition, stainless steel grade, and tolerance requirement.

Machine rigidity, spindle runout, tool holding accuracy, coolant pressure, pilot hole quality, and chip evacuation conditions should be checked before drilling. These factors strongly affect hole straightness and tool life in 15xD stainless steel applications.

Yes. We support customization based on drawings, stainless steel grade, diameter, hole depth, coolant method, ALTISIXN coating requirement, shank size, and drilling application.
