Sumitomo 5VHY036 Solid Carbide Screw Machine Drill Bit 6mm

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 5VHY036 is a solid carbide, screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding industrial applications. It has a 6.00 mm (0.2362 inch) diameter, a 135-degree drill point angle for self-centering entry, and a coated finish that extends cutting life. With a 2-flute, tapered-web geometry and coolant-through capability, this bit is built to handle deep-hole drilling in hard and abrasive materials without sacrificing chip evacuation or dimensional accuracy. It is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians in CNC and manual drilling operations.

This drill bit is engineered for use in cast iron, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. The screw machine length profile — shorter overall length than jobber bits — provides greater rigidity and reduced deflection, making it well suited for high-feed-rate applications in production environments. The MDW-HGS series designation places this bit in Sumitomo's line of solid carbide drills optimized for precision and tool life. Typical applications include component drilling on machining centers, lathes with live tooling, and drill presses operating at controlled speeds and feeds.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• Coated finish extends tool life and reduces heat buildup at the cutting edge
• 135-degree split point angle promotes self-centering and reduces thrust force
• Coolant-through design delivers cutting fluid directly to the drill tip for deep-hole operations
• 2-flute, tapered-web geometry supports efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank with h8 diameter tolerance for consistent toolholder fit

Compatibility

Designed for use with cast iron, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. Part of the Sumitomo MDW-HGS series with a 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio; compatible with standard straight-shank toolholders and collet chucks accepting a 6.00 mm (0.2362 inch) shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians. Secure the shank fully in a precision collet or toolholder before operation, and verify runout with a dial indicator when tolerance is critical. Always activate coolant flow through the spindle before initiating the cut when using the coolant-through feature. Do not exceed the maximum drilling depth of 0.8740 inches per the part geometry; retract and clear chips as needed on deeper cuts.
