Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What type of drill bit should I use for steel?

For steel applications, we recommend High-Speed Steel (HSS) drill bits for general use, or titanium-coated bits for improved wear resistance and longer life. The coating helps reduce friction and heat buildup during drilling operations.

How do I know which cutting tool coating to choose?

Select coatings based on your application: Black oxide provides good lubricity for general purpose use, titanium coating offers extended tool life for production work, and bright finish tools work well for basic applications where visibility is important.

What's the difference between 2-flute and 4-flute end mills?

2-flute end mills are ideal for plunging and slot cutting, offering better chip evacuation. 4-flute end mills provide better surface finish and are preferred for peripheral cutting and finishing operations. Choose based on your specific machining requirements.

How can I maximize the life of my cutting tools?

To extend tool life, use appropriate cutting speeds and feeds, ensure proper coolant flow, and maintain sharp cutting edges. Store tools in a dry environment and clean them after use. For production environments, consider our premium coated tools for maximum durability.

Which drill bits are best for multiple materials?

For versatility across different materials, titanium-coated HSS drill bits offer excellent performance. They provide good wear resistance and can handle various materials while maintaining reasonable cost-effectiveness compared to specialized bits.
