Irregular drilling demystified - angle spot corner hole
The flute design, point angle, and flute type, shank type (such as straight shank or hex shank) also play critical roles in enhancing their performance, especially in deep hole drilling or when working with multi-material drill bits especially.
These can then help you to ensure that the bit is securely fastened and the workpiece is stable, which will also help prevent accidents from occurring.
Where possible, you want to use appropriate coolants or lubricants during drilling, particularly when drilling stainless steel or alloy steels.

Carbide drill bits have become a cornerstone in modern machining and manufacturing, especially when it comes to working with the hardest materials.
Microcarbide drill bits are then perfect for delicate, detailed work, especially in electronics and precision engineering.
You want to ensure the bit is also suitable for the material you are drilling, whether it is tool steel, mild steel, or titanium alloys.
For instance, in the automotive sector, they are used to drill through tough alloys and hard steels, ensuring that components meet exacting standards and specifications as a result.
The new μ-precise micro milling cutter “MikroMill µ55 U” meets high demands in the micro range: Very high-quality surfaces can be achieved with the tightest tolerances and precise concentricity. An FEM-optimised radius angle transition also ensures maximum radial rigidity and low displacement during micro-milling. The innovative GühroJet internal cooling increases the service life of the tool and ensures process reliability.
Mould making plays a key role in many industries and mould makers place high demands on cutting tools – after all, they are a key component in ensuring product quality. This is why Gühring has presented a new milling cutter range for high-precision finishing requirements. The combination of new geometry, adapted coating system and ultra-hard substrate makes the high-precision milling cutters so successful when used in hardened tool steel.
Consequently, you want to always ensure proper alignment and stability, especially when using machines, power tools, or hand tools like milling cutters.
Maximum angular and fit accuracy Whether plastic, metal, glass or chocolate, moulding is what turns raw materials into products. Because these moulds produce the surfaces of the finished components, maximum precision is required here: Only a perfectly manufactured mould can produce a final product with tolerances and surfaces that meet the required quality without reworking. For perfect part quality, mould makers rely on tools that guarantee process reliability, precision and repeatability. The Swabian tool manufacturer Gühring meets precisely these requirements with a new range of high-precision milling cutters.

Known for their hardness and ability to cut through tough materials with precision, these drill bits are pretty much indispensable across various industries, from automotive manufacturing to aerospace engineering alike.
Capable of handling a wide range of materials, including hardened steel, carbon steels, titanium alloys, and composites, to name a few.
This is due to their fine size, allowing for drilling tiny holes in hard materials with high accuracy and with minimal breakage occurring due to their design as well.
You also want to regularly check for signs of wear or damage, particularly on the cutting edges and shank. If found you want to consider replacing them
Their heat resistance then further enhances their ability to drill through tough materials like hard steel and mild steel, all without losing their efficiency while they do so.
Crafted from a composite of carbon and tungsten, tungsten carbide drill bits offer you a distinct advantage over traditional high-speed steel HSS drills or Spot Drills, making them the preferred choice for professionals who need high-performance tools that are both durable and efficient.
Due to their hardness, re-sharpening carbide bits requires very specialised equipment and professional services, making it more cost-effective to replace worn bits rather than attempt to re-sharpen them.
Our website also features an extensive product catalogue of over 200,000's products and resources for engineering solutions. Consequently, we are here to help our customers find the right tools and equipment for their needs and applications, so give us a call if you are not sure. We are here to help.
These are ideal for shallow drilling in hard materials, as they reduce flex and breakage, giving you precise, in turn giving you more consistent results.
While high-speed steel(HSS) drill bits are popular due to their affordability and adaptability, they can fall short compared to carbide drill bits. This is in terms of their strength, especially in high-demand environments.
The journey of drill bits spans centuries, with early versions made from softer metals that could not withstand the rigours of modern manufacturing.
These bits are also designed for heavy-duty use, making them ideal for drilling applications that require consistent, high-quality results.
This process then ensures that carbide drill bits retain their cutting edges while they perform exceptionally well under high temperatures.
These prevent the main bit from then drifting, making them essential for precision work on hard surfaces, like tool steel especially.
This, in turn, makes them ideal for high-speed drilling in metals, as they provide you with an enhanced chip evacuation - which helps to reduce heat buildup during drilling and extends the drill bits' life as a result.
Proper maintenance can easily extend the lifespan of your carbide drill bits as well all while helping to ensure that you get a consistent performance.
For example, Jobber drills and centre drills are commonly used in workshops for a variety of materials, including mild steel and carbon steel.
Then, after each use, you want to clean the bits to remove debris and store them in a dry, safe place to prevent damage.
The μ-precise solid carbide milling cutter cutters have a stable core geometry and an optimised flute profile. Both reduce displacement during milling and ensure stability which is reflected in a very high contour accuracy. This makes the tools suitable for finishing high-precision fits and guides with exact angular accuracy.
These are then ideal for creating accurate pilot holes in hard materials like stainless steel, which then, in turn, ensures that you get a clean, centred drilling experience as an end result.
This is then due to their design, which minimises chipping and cracking, helping to ensure that smooth, clean holes in hard or non-metallic materials can then occur.
Safe chip removal during the milling process was another focus during tool development as a basic requirement for good surfaces. The structural dimensions and neck transition geometries of the new milling cutters have therefore been optimised for use in deep and narrow contours. All micro milling cutters in the new range also consist of revolver blanks with GühroJet periphery cooling. With this innovative technology for internal cooling, chips are removed directly and safely from the machining zone by air, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) or cooling lubricant.
You also want to adjust the speed and feed rates based on material and bit size to avoid excessive heat buildup - especially when using metal drill bits on hard steels especially.
Whether you are looking to set up a trade account, need advice on selecting the right carbide drill bits for stainless steel, or want information on day despatch services, we are dedicated to providing you with exceptional service.
Made entirely from carbide, these drill bits offer you unparalleled hardness and wear resistance, making them ideal for high-speed drilling in hard materials like stainless steel, titanium alloys, and tool steel especially.
Coatings like Titanium Nitride (TiN) and diamond can also really enhance their durability and cutting efficiency - especially in heavy-duty applications as well.
Consequently, you want to always wear proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses, safety gloves, and hearing protection.
Consequently, we can cater to various industries such as manufacturing, engineering, and maintenance, along with many more.
This characteristic allows them to retain a sharp cutting edge even under extreme conditions - including high-speed operations and high temperatures.
In aerospace, the ability to cut through high-strength materials like titanium alloys with minimal wear makes carbide drill bits a preferred choice.
Multi-material drill bits and tile drill bits are more adaptable tools for both professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts, and they are capable of drilling through ceramic tile, wood, and metal with ease.
Consequently, the advent of carbide technology marked a significant leap forward, literally revolutionising drilling processes by introducing carbide drill bits that really can offer unmatched efficiency and extended service life than those that came before, allowing precision drilling, from seasoned professionals to DIY enthusiasts to occur a lot more easily as a result.
Carbide drill bits also last significantly longer than other types, such as HSS twist drill bits, while reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Choosing the correct carbide drill bit for a specific application requires careful consideration of several factors, including the material to be drilled, the desired hole diameter, and the bit length, for instance.
These types of bits combine a steel shank with a carbide tip, offering you the toughness of steel and the cutting power of carbide.
This is followed by sintering, where the compacted powder is heated to bond the particles together without melting them.
The new range offers a high degree of flexibility with over 350 different dimensions, a wide range of full or corner radii as well as corner chamfers and different versions for hard and soft materials. Because quality counts above all in addition to quantity, the tool manufacturer has invested specifically in specialised production and measuring technologies at its site in Germany – for tools that customers in tool and mould making can rely on.
For instance their longer length allows for deeper drilling, while the carbide composition ensures they have the strength and extended tool life in tough applications as well.
After sintering, the drill bits undergo final machining, and it is at this stage that they are often coated with protective layers, which can then enhance their tool life and performance and also make them ideal for different use cases.
Three flute carbide drill bits then offer you a balanced design for efficient material removal and smoother holes on the whole.
For instance maintaining the correct speed and feed rate is crucial to prevent bit breakage while also ensuring that you get a smooth drilling process as well.
As a result, they can be more cost-effective than solid carbide bits, and they are commonly used in applications involving wood, masonry, and multi-material drilling on the whole.
Harder substrate, extremely smooth layer Because tool and mould making involves machining high-strength and hardened steels, Gühring has adapted its carbide substrate to these materials with the new high-precision milling cutters: The cutting material is now around 200 HV harder and finer-grained. This ultra-hard solid carbide substrate guarantees very good edge stability and thus process-reliable service life in hard machining.
Known for our exceptional customer service, we can provide you with very fast delivery and technical support, making us a trusted partner for your business.
Common errors like applying too much pressure or drilling at an incorrect angle can lead to premature bit failure and a bad finish.
The precision blanks also have optimised shaft tolerances in the h5 range and are μ-precise in diameter, concentricity and roundness. The radius tolerances are even in the range of +- 5 μm. The coating system has also been specially adapted for mould making: A Perrox coating produced using the HiPiMS process makes the tool surfaces extremely smooth and therefore very resistant to wear. Thanks to this combination of carbide, coating and geometry, the new high-precision milling cutters promise a significant increase in performance – both in soft and harder materials up to 65 HRC and even in high-alloyed or powder metallurgically manufactured tool steels.
Carbide drill bits are pretty much indispensable in industries where precision, durability, and strength are pretty much non-negotiable.
As a result, Carbide drill bits are available in different variations, each designed more to serve distinct purposes, such as for instance:
