Sandvik Coromant 5732741 Die Drill Bit 5mm Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5732741 is a solid carbide die drill bit engineered for high-performance drilling in hardened materials. Part of the HCx series, it features a 5 mm diameter with a 120-degree point angle and a proprietary point geometry designed to maintain accuracy and edge integrity in demanding die and mold work. The two-flute, right-hand cutting design provides efficient chip evacuation over a 25 mm flute length. Overall length is 50 mm, and the shank diameter matches the cutting diameter at 5 mm. This bit is suited for skilled machinists and toolmakers working in precision metalworking environments.

The 5732741 is built for drilling into hardened materials, including tool steels and die steels common in mold making and die repair applications. The HCx series designation indicates high-performance carbide construction with a bright, uncoated finish. Maximum drilling depth is 17.50 mm, making it appropriate for shallow, precision-critical bores where hole quality and positional accuracy are the primary requirements. It is typically used in CNC machining centers, drill presses, or precision manual machines equipped to hold a 5 mm straight shank.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and heat resistance in hardened material drilling
• 120-degree proprietary point geometry for accurate entry and reduced walking
• Two-flute right-hand cutting configuration promotes effective chip removal
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for hardened steel applications
• 25 mm flute length with a 3.5XD flute-to-diameter ratio
• Maximum drilling depth of 17.50 mm (0.690 inches)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-specification die drill bit within the SANDVIK COROMANT HCx series, intended for use in hardened and difficult-to-machine materials in die, mold, and precision tooling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of this drill bit should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolmaker. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Use a properly sized collet or chuck rated for the 5 mm shank diameter to prevent runout. Follow applicable machine tool safety procedures and manufacturer guidelines for cutting speeds and feeds when machining hardened materials.
