Having trouble drilling stainless steel? Are your drill bits always snapping or struggling with the tough metal? Don’t worry! And that is where Huazhichun can help you with our specially-crafted, stainless-arm drill bits. And with our drill bits, you can complete your work without any hassles!
Stainless steel is one of the toughest materials to drill into because it is hard and robust. That ability is why a lot of things seem to work well with it, such as kitchen appliances and tools. But it also means that you must implement the proper drill bit to ease drilling. Your best drill bits for Stainless Steel are on the way from Huazhichun! Our bits are sturdy and of top quality, so they will outlast non-specialized drill bits that have only been made for the job. You can trust our bits for better performance and a smoother drilling experience.
Selecting a stainless steel drill bit can be easy (for regular stuff!) or really challenging based on the different technologies. Choose a appropriately sized drill bit for the size of hole you want to drill: If the bit is too small the hole won't be big enough, and if it's too large it becomes unwieldy. The 2nd thing you want to keep in mind is the length of drill bit. It has to be long enough to penetrate the thickness of the stainless steel without difficulty. Finally, select the correct drill bit. Tungsten carbide or cobalt drill bits are suitable for stainless steel. They're designed for more challenging materials and will perform better.
If you want to ease your drilling process while working with stainless steel, the following tips will help. Step 1: Set your speed using a drill. Too slow, and the bits can heat up and wear out. And if the speed is too fast, actually the bits can shatter. The optimal balance is key! Secondly, applying lubricant is also a wise decision when it comes to drilling. Keeping the drill bit cool is important, and this also helps with reducing friction which can lead to a smoother drilling process. Finally, you want to press down constantly and make sure that the drill bit is straight up (perpendicular) against whatever surface you are drilling into. This will protect the bit from bending or snapping.
When drilling stainless steel, tungsten carbide and cobalt are two common drill bit types. Tungsten carbide is used to have very high hardness and durability, so it can easily cut tougher materials such as stainless steel. Drilling through requires less pressure, making it user-friendly. On the downside tungsten carbide bits can sometimes be pricier than other types of bits. Cobalt drill bits are cheaper, and low-alloy tool steels that also work better on stainless steel. Although not quite as strong or long-lasting compared with tungsten carbide bits, they still work fairly well for the job.
When working with stainless steel, one frequent issue we run into is the drill bits breaking. To avoid this scenario, ensure your drill bits are high quality and made for stainless steel. Always use correctly-sized drill bits and the right lubricant. Ensure you have the right drill speed for the job, as well as pressure. Finally, always keep your drill bit uniformly vertical against the material you are working with. Doing this will prevent bending of the bit, breaking it in turn.
RPM or "revolutions per minute" tells you how fast your drill spits when you are under operation. Ensure to use the Correct RPM while drilling stainless steel or else your drill bits will heat up and break. We recommend a speed of 1,500 RPM for drilling holes less than 1/8 inch in the tungsten carbide drill bits of Huazhichun. As for drilling holes that are between 1/8 inch and 1/2 inch, we recommend using a slower speed of 750 RPM. Cobalt drill bits are best drilled at 1,000 RPM for holes smaller than 1/8 inch and at 500 RPM for holes ranging from 1/8 inch through an equivalent of a half-inch hole.
