One process chain, many materials.
Our cutting data is published by workpiece material, not by industry label. Below are the material groups covered by the 2026–2027 catalogue, the tool families that serve them, and the finishing consumables that follow the hole.
- Part numbers
- 11,717
- Micro drill range
- Ø 0.03–3.03 mm
- Catalogue tolerance
- -0.003 mm
Material groups in the cutting data
Printed pages 59 and 60 of the catalogue give spindle speed and feed for these groups. The table below is the index to that data, not a substitute for the part-number geometry.
| Material group | Typical grade | Where the data is | Finish after drilling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-ferrous | Aluminium alloy 5052, copper alloys | Catalogue p.59–60 | Deburr and levelling belts |
| Stainless | SUS304 / 316, SUS630, martensitic | Catalogue p.59–60 | HD / HC brush rollers |
| Steel | S45C / SS400 carbon steel, SCM / SKD alloy and hardened steel | Catalogue p.59 | Flap wheels, non-woven pads |
| Mould and die | NAK / HPM pre-hardened steel (HRC 30-40) | Catalogue p.59 | Fine belts, abrasive sponges |
| High-temperature alloys | Ti-6Al-4V, Inconel / Fe-Ni-Co alloys | Catalogue p.60 | Ceramic and diamond belts |
| Cast and engineered | Cast iron, aluminium casting, engineering plastics, resin laminate | Catalogue p.60 | Ceramic brush rollers, press-plate brushes |
Starting values only. They assume a rigid setup, a suitable holder and the stated coolant condition. Open the starting feeds and speeds.
Tool families that serve them
What happens after the drill
Resin overflow after plugging, burrs after mechanical or laser drilling, copper nodules after plating, oxide conditioning and press-plate cleaning are all finishing steps. They use brush rollers, endless belts and non-woven consumables configured to the width and core of your line.
Common questions
Do you supply tools for materials not listed above?
Yes. Send the material grade and the operation. We check the production record for a matching geometry first, then propose a custom grind if there is none.
Do you supply implants or certified medical devices?
No. We supply cutting tools and abrasive consumables only. We do not supply implants and do not claim device certifications. Geometry and inspection method are confirmed per part number in the written quotation.
Can I filter the catalogue by coating and diameter?
Yes. The part-number catalogue filters by family, series code, coating and diameter band, and shows the full geometry callout for every match.
Send the material and the part number.
We reply with a written specification, a held tolerance and a date for samples.
