    Reccomendations for micro drills for our swiss

    Looking for reccomendations for micro drills .01 -.03 for drilling 13-8 H900-1100 stainless. Would like to find something that works better than the non carbide titex drills we use now. Been looking at Mikron Crazy Drills......

    Nachi "Aqua Drills"
    Mitsubishi and OSG also have some good offerings

    And, how would you define...

    Control the process, not the product!
    Machining is more science than art, master the science and the artistry will be evident.

    I would define that as a carbide drill not HSS...lol

    Let's say it a different way then, are you looking for:

    • Better tool life
    • Faster cycle time
    • Avoidance of catastrophic tool failure
    • Better hole quality


    Or <said yet another way> what is the Titex drill NOT doing for you?

    Re: Reccomendations for micro drills for our swiss

    Hi could i get some help on Crazy Drills. I am using 30XD for 14 mm holes in grey cast. And from the cutting data i've used S22000 F330 Q0.5 and the drill broke only after 60 holes. Even pilot drill broke after only 200 holes.
    If i change cutting data results get only worse.
    Help someone?
