The 3xD carbide drill for stainless steel is specially developed for short-hole drilling in stainless steel materials where work hardening, high cutting temperature, chip adhesion, and tool wear are common challenges. Compared with general steel drilling, stainless steel requires better edge stability, smoother chip evacuation, and stronger heat resistance during machining.
This drill is manufactured from imported MG grade 0.8 μm submicron tungsten carbide rods with 10% cobalt content, providing the toughness and edge strength required for high-speed stainless steel drilling. With optimized point geometry, stable flute design, self-developed high-performance coating, and controlled edge passivation, it helps reduce drill walking, improve chip breaking, and maintain consistent hole quality in stainless steel applications.

Production Facility
Geometry Accuracy Control
Edge Inspection Magnification
Edge Passivation Control
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
3xD means the drill is designed for hole depths up to 3 times the drill diameter.
Yes. This drill is designed for stainless steel drilling, helping reduce work hardening, improve chip evacuation, and maintain stable hole quality.
It is suitable for 304, 316L, 17-4PH, duplex stainless steel, austenitic stainless steel, martensitic stainless steel, and precipitation hardening stainless steel under suitable machining conditions.
Stainless steel has high toughness, poor thermal conductivity, and strong work-hardening tendency. A suitable carbide drill needs stable edge strength, heat-resistant coating, and reliable chip evacuation to maintain drilling performance.
Yes. Both internal coolant and external coolant versions are available according to machining requirements.
Yes. We support customization based on drawings, workpiece material, hole depth, and drilling application.
