Its particularly smooth surface is designed to reduce material adhesion and built-up edge formation when machining aluminium. This assists chip flow, helps maintain a clean cutting edge and contributes to reliable surface quality and tool performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"info-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003ch3\u003eUnderstanding the 5xD designation\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5xD\u003c\/strong\u003e describes the drill's intended drilling depth in relation to its nominal diameter.

This is particularly beneficial when drilling aluminium because it assists cooling and lubrication while helping flush chips out of the hole. Effective chip evacuation reduces recutting and supports reliable drilling at higher production rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"info-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy six guide chamfers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe six guide chamfers stabilise the drill as it progresses through the workpiece.
