Series J100 - Metric general purpose drills for steels, cast steel, grey cast iron, malleable cast iron, nickel brass, aluminium alloy and graphite.

Features and Benefits
• High speed steel construction with bright finish for increased toughness
• Supplied in the as-ground condition for use with non ferrous materials

Standards
• Manufactured to BS 328/DIN338RN

Notes
• Drills with a bright finish are supplied in the as-ground condition and such tools are used generally in the machining of non-ferrous materials.

The J100 Series are general purpose HSS straight shank drills with a black oxide finish. Ideal for applications involving steel (including cast steel) cast iron (including malleable cast iron) as well as nickel, brass aluminium alloys and graphite. Their 118° point allows for precise hole alignment and reliable cutting performance whilst the black oxide coating helps reduce heat by retaining coolant on the tool surface. The coating also helps reduce the risk of the tool staining.

Features and Benefits
• High speed steel construction for increased tool durability
• Point angle of 118° for precise holemaking and precision cutting
• Black oxide coating helps aid chip flow, reduce heat and prevent staining
• Ideal for applications involving steel, iron, nickel, brass, aluminium alloy and graphite


Typical Applications
• Cutting and drilling
• Ferrous materials
• Steel
• Iron
• Nickel
• Brass
• Aluminium alloy
• Graphite

Notes
• Available in sizes 0.25mm -20.00mm

Standards
• Manufactured to BS 328/DIN338RN

Cylindrical-End Cutting
All sizes are nominal with a 6mm shank unless other wise stated.

Cut Numbers:

Cut 3 - Rapid Cut.
for use on softer non ferrous and plastic materials, i.e aluminium, fibreglass, plastics, hard rubber and zinc alloy,

Cut 6 - Double Cut.
Crosscut and double cut to improve control and chipbreaks. Manufactured from high grade tungsten carbide for general-purpose use.

Cut 9 - Chipbreaker
Chipbreaker fast stock removal for improved control and reduced chips for use on hard materials, i.e. steel alloy 50RC, 60RC, carbon and cast iron.

Suitable for deburring and polishing of cast iron, cast steel, carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel etc.
up to HRC65 hardness.

Please note:
• Work piece and tools should always be steady and well supported.
• Carbide burrs are not suitable for 'milling' large amounts of material, they are for light stock removal and high revolutions 'LOW FEED - HIGH SPEED'.
• Always ensure that at least 70% of the shank length is clamped by the collet or chuck of the tool being used.
• Always ensure that the tool is rated to the recommended operating speed of the burr.
