CIF Monopiece Carbide Drill Bit - 1.7mm

The CIF Monopiece Carbide Drill Bit is engineered for precision and high-speed applications in demanding industrial environments. This specialised drill bit is constructed from a single, robust piece of solid carbide, providing exceptional durability, rigidity, and resistance to wear and heat compared to traditional high-speed steel or brazed-tip bits.

Designed for use with high-speed machinery, this bit operates at a minimum recommended speed of 20,000 RPM. This high rotational velocity is crucial for achieving clean, accurate holes and maximising tool life when working with hard or abrasive materials. The descent speed is optimally set between 1.6 to 4 metres per minute, ensuring controlled, efficient penetration without compromising the workpiece or the tool itself. The universal 3.17mm (1/8 inch) shank diameter provides excellent compatibility with a wide range of precision collets and high-speed spindles commonly found in CNC machines, engravers, and professional drilling equipment.

Key Advantages

• Monopiece Construction: The solid carbide body eliminates weak points, offering superior strength and stability for precise, chatter-free drilling.
• Exceptional Hardness: Carbide maintains its cutting edge far longer than steel, reducing downtime for tool changes and ensuring consistent hole quality.
• High-Speed Operation: Specifically rated for the extreme speeds required in PCB drilling, precision engineering, and micromachining.
• Heat Resistance: The carbide material withstands the high temperatures generated during high-speed drilling, preventing premature failure.

This professional-grade bit is an essential tool for technicians, engineers, and manufacturers who require reliability and exactitude in their drilling operations.
