Excellent Chip Control
Combination of different radius sizes provides strong
cutting edge and excellent chip control.

Thinning with Lower Thrust Force

Ideal chip shape formed by the radius form, securing
the chip pocket on the center part, thereby dramatically
reducing the cutting resistance.

MFE Conventional

Unique Sharp Cutting Edges

The flat lands on the cutting edge corners provide greater
strength and sharpness, which can substantially reduce
the formation of burrs.

Sharp Cutting Edges with Long Tool Life

Coated Grade DP102A
DP102A is a PVD coated cemented carbide grade specialized for small diameter drills, with greatly
improved wear resistance when drilling small-diameter holes at low speeds and low feed conditions.
This provides high adhesion and stability even with sharp cutting edges.

(Note 1) The recommended hole depth is DCx2. This should be the depth from the uppermost surface of the work material when machining on
an angled surface. (Refer to diagram)
(Note 2) The above cutting table assumes drilling on a flat surface.
For hole drilling on an angled surface, adjust the feed rate in accordance with the inclination angle.
When the inclination angle α is 30° or less, adjust the feed rate to 70% or lower as a guideline.
When the inclination angle α is greater than 30°, adjust the feed rate to 50% or lower as a guideline.
(Note 3) This product is a tool intended for hole drilling. It cannot be used for cross-feed machining or helical machining.
