Select for the Component and Machine

Hole Diameter and Working Depth

Begin with the part's required hole diameter, depth and position. Compare D and Lc with the operation and confirm the selected model's working limits for the actual setup; the entire flute length is not automatically an approved drilling depth.

Shank Fit and Tool Alignment

Choose the holder by shank diameter d rather than cutting diameter D. Check the holder, alignment and tool projection before a trial, and specify any runout requirement on the purchase drawing.

Chip Removal

Record the material, hole geometry and coolant arrangement when discussing the process. Chip removal in a narrow hole depends on those conditions and the chosen tool; use the approved operating guidance for that configuration.

Plan Your Micro Drill Purchase

Small-Hole Production

Where a component has multiple small holes, list their diameters and depths alongside the material and machining setup. This lets you identify the model needed for each operation rather than selecting from diameter alone.

Trial Approval and Reorders

For a trial, record the model, holder, workpiece and required hole result. Keep the accepted model and drawing revision with the purchasing record so the same configuration can be identified for repeat orders.

Distributor Range Planning

Build the assortment around the sizes your customers request. Keep each complete model code, shank size and quantity together on the purchase list.

Micro Solid Carbide Drill FAQ

Which cutting diameters are listed for NAM micro drills?

The catalogue lists NAM models from 0.1 to 2.9 mm in cutting diameter. Check the complete row for the flute length, shank diameter and overall length associated with the chosen size.

Should the holder match the cutting diameter?

Select the holder using the shank diameter d shown on the model row. The cutting diameter D and holding diameter are separate dimensions.

Does flute length establish the maximum drilling depth?

Lc identifies the fluted section of the tool. Confirm the permitted working depth and operating conditions for the selected model, workpiece and machine setup.

What should I check if a micro drill breaks during a trial?

Review the holder and alignment, tool projection, workpiece, hole depth and chip removal with the tool supplier. Record the trial conditions before changing the tool or machining cycle.

Are NAM micro drills supplied with internal coolant channels?

Confirm the coolant configuration for the selected model when ordering and specify the cooling arrangement available on your machine.

How can a distributor request a mixed-size quotation?

List each full NAM model and quantity separately. Include the destination and any drawing, inspection, labelling or packaging requirements so each purchase line is clear.
