Material Specifications

Steels: Hardened and tempered steels with hardness values ranging from <250 to >850.
Stainless Steels: Free machining, austenitic, and ferritic + martensitic types with hardness values <250 to <850.
Coppers: Pure copper and long chip brass/bronze with hardness values <120 to <700.
Aluminiums: Unalloyed and alloyed aluminium with hardness values <100 to <500.
Plastics: Thermoplastics such as ABS, PVC, and Polycarbonate with hardness values <340 to <50.

Case Study
A tool life comparison was conducted between the Sutton R40 VA Drill and competitor drills on materials SS304 and SS430F. The R40 VA Drill outperformed competitors, drilling 1254 holes in SS304 and 875 holes in SS430F, compared to lower numbers by competitors.

Drilling Parameters

Cutting Speed (Vc): 20m/min for SS304 and 30m/min for SS430F.
Feed Rate (f): 0.11mm/rev for SS304 and 0.135mm/rev for SS430F.
Lubrication: 7% water-soluble lubricant used for both materials.

Conclusion
The Sutton R40 VA Drill demonstrated superior tool life compared to competitors, particularly in SS304 material.

High Helix & Unique Flute Form 40° flute helix with unique radiused flute form. Produces short chips, even in Stainless Steel & Copper alloys, allowing for non-step drilling of 3 to 4xd hole depths possible. Resulting in superior drill life & hole condition. Point Geometry The cutting edge point geometry is ultra sharp, which generates lower forces when drilling stainless steels. This also makes it ideal for soft steels, copper and aluminums alloys. Tool Material & Coating Premium Cobalt grade of High Speed Steel (HSSCo) with a super smooth TiAlN coating, provides the optimal combination for...
