Product Overview

3xD Solid Carbide Drill —Engineered for Aluminum

The 3xD carbide drill for aluminum is designed for short-depth hole machining in aluminum and non-ferrous materials. Aluminum drilling often requires sharp cutting edges, smooth chip flow, and stable cutting performance to reduce chip adhesion, built-up edge, and surface scratching.

With optimized point geometry, flute structure, coating or surface treatment options, and controlled edge preparation, this drill helps deliver clean hole walls, stable hole accuracy, and efficient chip evacuation in high-speed aluminum machining applications.
