Use Case

This structure is used for metallurgical training, CNC cutting tool optimization, machining methods, and coating technology (PVD/CVD) presentations.

Point Angle & Material Hardness

Explains why the standard 118° point angle is changed to 135° (split point) for harder materials and how this affects self-centering accuracy.

Chip Evacuation & Heat Management

Describes the speed of chip removal through flutes and the dynamics of coolant reaching the cutting tip.

Coating & Tool Life

Highlights how TiN or TiAlN coatings increase surface hardness to 2500+ HV and significantly reduce the coefficient of friction.

HSS-Co Drill Bit

Cutting Tool / Consumable

Material & Manufacturing

HSS-E (Cobalt Alloyed) or Tungsten Carbide | Mfg: CNC Precision Grinding

Surface Finish & Treatment

TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride) or Oxide Coating

Tolerances & Technical Requirements

Diameter Tolerance: h8 | Runout: ≤ 0.02 mm

Functional Description

A precision cutting tool with two main cutting edges and two helical flutes for chip evacuation, designed to create circular holes.

Critical Points
  • 135° Split Point (Self-centering geometry)
  • Helical flutes for high-speed chip evacuation
  • Precision shank for CNC and chuck mounting
Engineering Note

Performance is dictated by "Point Geometry." Web thinning reduces thrust force, allowing easier penetration. The addition of 5-8% Cobalt (Co) ensures the material maintains its hardness even at temperatures above 600°C (red-hardness), enabling the drilling of tough materials like stainless steel.

Training Scope

This interactive module is intended for technical training, engineering visualization, component identification, and mechanical-system analysis. Numerical values, material selections, tolerances, and manufacturing details shown for individual components should be treated as representative technical information unless a specific manufacturer, drawing, or applicable standard is explicitly identified.
