Product Overview

30xD Solid Carbide Drill —Engineered for Demanding Extra-Deep Stainless Steel Hole Machining

The 30xD carbide drill for stainless steel is designed for highly demanding extra-deep-hole applications where chip evacuation, cutting heat control, pilot guidance, hole straightness, coolant delivery, and process stability are critical.

Compared with 15xD or 20xD drilling, a 30xD application has a significantly longer unsupported drill body and chip evacuation path. It places much higher demands on pilot hole accuracy, spindle runout, tool holder condition, machine rigidity, coolant pressure, flute consistency, and cutting parameter control.

Stainless steel materials such as 304, 316L, 17-4PH, and duplex stainless steel have high toughness, poor thermal conductivity, and a strong tendency to work-harden. Cutting heat remains concentrated around the drill point, while continuous and difficult-to-break chips must travel through an extremely long flute path.

Insufficient coolant delivery or unstable chip evacuation may cause chip packing, heat buildup, work hardening, increased torque, cutting edge overload, hole deviation, burr formation, poor hole wall quality, or premature drill breakage. Stable cutting engagement and continuous chip removal are therefore essential throughout the 30xD drilling cycle.

This carbide drill is manufactured from imported MG grade 0.8 μm tungsten carbide rods with 10% cobalt content, supporting drill rigidity and edge stability. Combined with ALTISIXN coating, reinforced flute geometry, internal coolant channels, controlled edge preparation, Walter inspection, and German Walter 5-axis grinding, it helps maintain reliable drilling performance and consistent hole quality in extra-deep stainless steel machining.

Engineering Details That Improve 30xD 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 provide the rigidity, edge strength, and dimensional stability required for demanding extra-deep stainless steel hole drilling.

ALTISIXN Wear-Resistant Coating

ALTISIXN Wear-Resistant Coating

ALTISIXN coating helps protect the cutting edge against wear and concentrated cutting heat during stainless steel machining.
It supports stable cutting performance, reduces premature edge wear, and helps protect the drill throughout the extended 30xD drilling cycle.

Internal Coolant Design

Internal Coolant Design

Internal coolant channels deliver cutting fluid close to the drill point and help carry stainless steel chips through the long flutes.
Stable coolant pressure and sufficient flow are critical for controlling cutting heat, reducing work hardening, and preventing chip packing or edge overload.

Extra-Deep-Hole Flute Structure

Extra-Deep-Hole Flute Structure

Reinforced flute geometry balances chip space and drill rigidity for long-depth stainless steel machining.
The variable core design and back taper help reduce internal friction, improve chip flow, protect the cutting edge, and support better hole straightness.

Frequently Asked Questions

30xD means the drill is designed to produce a hole up to 30 times its diameter. For example, a 5 mm drill can be used for a drilling depth of approximately 150 mm under suitable machining conditions.

Yes. This 30xD carbide drill is designed for 304, 316L, 17-4PH, duplex stainless steel, and other stainless steel alloys under suitable machining conditions.

A 30xD drill has a longer unsupported body and a significantly longer chip evacuation path than a 20xD drill. It requires more accurate pilot guidance, lower spindle runout, stronger coolant delivery, better tool holding, and more stable machine conditions.

The drill uses ALTISIXN wear-resistant coating, which helps improve cutting edge protection, wear resistance, thermal protection, and drilling stability during extra-deep stainless steel machining.

Internal coolant is required for most 30xD stainless steel drilling applications. It helps carry chips through the long flutes, control concentrated cutting heat, reduce work hardening, and protect the cutting edge.

Stainless steel has high toughness, poor thermal conductivity, and a strong tendency to work-harden. In 30xD drilling, cutting heat is difficult to remove and chips must travel through an extremely long flute path, increasing the risk of chip packing, edge overload, hole deviation, and tool breakage.

Pilot hole accuracy, spindle runout, tool holder condition, machine rigidity, drill geometry, coolant pressure, feed stability, stainless steel consistency, and workpiece setup can all affect hole straightness.

Rubbing and repeated dwell may increase cutting heat and cause the stainless steel around the cutting area to work-harden. Stable cutting engagement helps reduce heat buildup, edge wear, and premature tool failure.

Yes. We support customized diameter, flute length, overall length, shank size, coolant channel, ALTISIXN coating, edge preparation, and matching pilot drills according to drawings and machining requirements.
