CNC Precision Grinding
Our high-performance HSS center drill bits are crafted using CNC precision grinding to ensure uniform step heights, razor-sharp cutting edges, and precise tip centering. This level of precision guarantees clean and accurate drilling, allowing for the creation of centers in diamond cutting operations with minimal vibration and maximum stability, even during high-speed lathe tasks.
Vacuum Heat Treatment
To maximize tool longevity, each center drill bit undergoes vacuum heat treatment, enhancing both surface hardness and core toughness. This treatment improves wear and heat resistance, making these bits ideal for drilling through tough materials like stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals, ensuring they perform reliably over time under the most demanding diamond cutting conditions.
Ultra-Fine Polishing
The ultra-fine polished surface of our center drill bits reduces friction, improves chip removal, and minimizes heat generation during deep or repetitive diamond cutting operations. This polishing treatment also helps protect the drill bit and the workpiece, preventing surface damage, particularly when working with soft metals or thermoplastics, ensuring clean, flawless results every time.
Refined Metallurgy & Thermal Optimization
Advanced Steel Purification: EAF + LF + VD + RS ESR
Our high-performance HSS center drill bits are crafted from ultra-clean high-speed steel (HSS) through advanced metallurgical processes, including Electric Arc Furnace (EAF), Ladle Refining (LF), Vacuum Degassing (VD), and Electro-Slag Remelting (ESR). This purification process reduces impurities, enhancing toughness and reliability, which is essential for precision diamond cutting through hard metals and layered composites.
Integrated Thermal Optimization
Through a combination of quenching, cryogenic treatment, and precision tempering, our center drill bits achieve a hardness of HRC 67 while maintaining exceptional resistance to chipping and cracking. This thermal optimization ensures the bits remain highly reliable during high-speed, high-pressure diamond cutting, making them perfect for demanding lathe operations in the precision machining and fabrication industries.
RS ESR Edge Enhancement Technology
By using Rapid Solidification ESR processing, the cutting-edge structure is reinforced with uniformly distributed carbides and cobalt. This enhancement improves edge retention and wear resistance, ensuring long-lasting, reliable performance in high-temperature, high-load diamond cutting and lathe operations.
Customizable Engineering Options
Material Flexibility: M35-Centric Configuration
While M2 and M42 variants are available, we prioritize M35 HSS for its superior hardness-to-toughness ratio. This material is ideal for diamond cutting, where both edge strength and wear resistance are crucial for precise lathe work, especially when dealing with high-precision tasks in tough materials.
Tailored Step Geometry & Coatings
We offer customizable step sizes, flute lengths, and helix angles to meet specific requirements for diamond cutting applications. Optional PVD coatings, such as TiN, TiAlN, or TiCN, enhance thermal resistance, reduce friction, and extend tool life, ensuring that the drill bits perform reliably under tough lathe conditions.
Key Design Adaptations for Precision Diamond Cutting
Multi-Step Flute Optimization
The flutes between each step are precisely engineered to promote efficient chip removal and thermal management. This reduces the risk of clogging during high-speed diamond cutting, especially when working with thermoplastics or thin metal sheets, ensuring smooth and consistent drilling, even at high RPMs.
Engineered Cutting Angles
The step transitions and tip geometry are optimized to minimize axial force, enhance stability, and prevent material deformation. This is especially beneficial when drilling soft metals or thin-walled parts for diamond cutting, ensuring clean, accurate, and professional results.
Performance-Enhancing Coatings
Our center drill bits can be equipped with application-specific coatings, such as TiAlN for high-temperature diamond cutting or TiCN for extreme wear environments. These coatings significantly improve tool longevity, allowing for reliable multi-diameter drilling even under the most challenging conditions in diamond cutting and precision machining.
