Sandvik Coromant 5732743 Die Drill Bit 6mm Carbide Hcx

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5732743 is a solid carbide die drill bit engineered for high-performance drilling in hardened materials. Built to the HCx series specification, it features a 120-degree point angle and a proprietary point geometry that supports accurate entry and stable cutting in demanding workpiece materials. The 6 mm diameter and two-flute right-hand configuration deliver efficient chip evacuation across a maximum drilling depth of 21 mm. At 0.25 pounds, this is a compact, precision-ground tool suited for tool-and-die shops, mold makers, and machinists working with hardened steel and similarly difficult alloys.

This die drill bit is designed for applications where standard HSS tooling cannot maintain edge life or dimensional accuracy. Primary and secondary workpiece materials are hardened materials, making it appropriate for die repair, insert pocket drilling, and precision cavity work in tool rooms and production environments. The bright uncoated finish indicates the tool ships ready for use without additional surface treatment. Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician on CNC or manual drilling equipment.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for extended tool life in hardened workpiece materials
• 120-degree point angle with proprietary point geometry for precise drill entry
• Right-hand, 2-flute design optimized for chip evacuation in deep-hole die applications
• Maximum drilling depth of 21 mm with a 3.5XD flute-to-diameter ratio
• Bright uncoated finish, ready to use out of the package
• HCx series high-performance classification for demanding production and tool-room use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-specification solid carbide die drill bit suitable for CNC machining centers and manual drilling equipment accepting a 6 mm straight shank.

Installation Notes

This tool should be installed and operated by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Verify spindle speed and feed rate settings are appropriate for carbide tooling and the specific hardness of the workpiece before beginning any operation. Secure the shank fully in a collet or drill chuck rated for the selected spindle speed. Do not use this tool in percussion or hammer-drill mode, as solid carbide tooling is not designed for impact loading.
