Best drill bit for hardened steel?
I recently asked this question and received a few different answers.The recommendations were.Tungsten,diamond tip and titanium.Are all these answers correct and if so which is the best one? Thanks all!
*If you are going to use it for mass production , then go for diamond tip with proper emulsion / coolant advised by the manufacturer.
*You can go for unconventional methode like wire cut for larger diameter holes.
*Carbide Tipped Cutting Tools:
The cutting edge of these machine tools are carbide tips brazed onto hardened tool steel bodies. Carbide tipped tools in general have a longer tool life than high speed steel tools and are more resistant to wear making them effective in long production runs. C-2 Micrograin carbide tips are used for cutting most non-ferrous and cast iron materials, while C-5 carbide tips are used for cutting most steel materials. The carbide tipped reamers are available in 3 grades of carbide tips for specific applications.
*Diamond drills are used on glass, stained glass, ceramics, ceramic tile, porcelain, porcelain tile, limestone, marble, granite, slate, stone and fiberglass. Drills used on wood or metal have a sharp metal tip or teeth, that cut into the material. These types of drills do not work on glass, marble, etc. as the tips do not “bite” into the extremely hard material, and cause heat build-up that burn up the bit and cause “heat fractures” in the material. Carbide tipped Spear Point drills are sometimes used on the “softer” types of hard materials – like untempered glass, sandstone and marble and some of the less hard ceramic and porcelain tiles.
*Water or coolant must always be used to cool and lubricate the tip. The lubrication reduces heat build-up, prolonging drill bit life and helps avoid heat fractures in the material. Water is most often used as the lubricant, since it works very well and has no cost. Oil based lubricants do not work well on diamond drill bits.
Good lubrication is critical. Minimal lubrication will keep the bit from burning up, but very good lubrication techniques will extend bit life by a factor of 5 or even 10.
