Achieve Micron-Level Accuracy in Hardened Steel, Titanium, and Composites

SAMHO’s precision drill bits are essential cutting tools designed for high-speed, high-efficiency hole-making across diverse industries. From general-purpose twist drills to specialized HRC65 super-hard series, our products are engineered to withstand the extreme temperatures and pressures of modern CNC machining. Whether you are drilling through SKD11 mold steel, aerospace-grade titanium, or abrasive graphite, SAMHO provides the stability, durability, and hole-wall quality required for professional manufacturing.


Core Technical Features

Multifunctional Material Compatibility

Versatile Industrial Solutions: SAMHO drill bits are optimized for a wide spectrum of materials, including Hardened Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum Alloys, Titanium, and Fiber-Reinforced Plastics. This versatility ensures we meet the complex needs of the automotive, aerospace, and electronics sectors.

Ultra-High Hardness & Wear Resistance

Toughness Beyond Standard HSS: While standard bits struggle with heat, our Solid Carbide and HRC65 series maintain a sharp cutting edge even under extreme thermal stress. The high-hardness substrate prevents premature wear, significantly extending tool life and reducing the cost-per-hole.

Innovative Internal Cooling Design

Stable High-Speed Drilling: Our advanced Internal Cooling (Through-Coolant) technology delivers lubricant directly to the cutting edge. This effectively flushes out chips, reduces localized overheating, and allows for much higher feed rates and speeds in deep-hole drilling applications.

Precision Geometry & Stability

Burr-Free, High-Quality Holes: Featuring optimized flute designs and drag-reduction geometries, SAMHO bits minimize vibration and noise. This results in superior dimensional consistency, exceptional hole-wall smoothness, and high positional accuracy, fulfilling the strictest tolerance requirements.


SAMHO Drill Bit Product Series

  • HRC65 Super Hard Series (Solid/Internal Cooling): The premier choice for high-hardness steel (up to 65HRC) and quenched mold parts. Available in lengthened versions for deep-cavity access.

  • HRC55 Mold Steel Series: Specifically designed for pre-hardened steels, offering a perfect balance of toughness and wear resistance.

  • Aluminum & Non-Ferrous Series: Features polished flutes and specialized rake angles to prevent material adhesion and ensure rapid chip evacuation.

  • Graphite & Composite Series: Engineered with diamond-like coatings to resist the abrasive nature of carbon-fiber and graphite electrodes.

  • Step & Flat-Bottomed Drills: Specialized geometries for multi-diameter holes and precise flat-bottomed boring.

FAQ: Precision Drilling & Tool Selection

Q1: What are the primary materials SAMHO drill bits can handle?

A: Our bits are designed for a vast range of materials. We have specialized series for Hardened Steel (up to HRC65), Titanium Alloys, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, and Abrasive Graphite.

Q2: When should I choose an internal cooling drill over a solid drill?

A: Internal cooling (through-coolant) is highly recommended for deep-hole drilling (usually 3D or deeper) and high-speed operations. It ensures chips are flushed out efficiently and prevents the bit from warping due to heat buildup.

Q3: How does the HRC rating of a drill bit affect my work?

A: The HRC rating indicates the bit’s hardness. A higher HRC (like our HRC65 series) means the tool can cut through quenched or heat-treated steels that would quickly destroy a standard HSS or HRC55 bit.

Q4: Can SAMHO provide custom drill bit lengths for specialized aerospace projects?

A: Yes. We undertake high-precision tool customization (OEM). We can adjust the shank diameter, flute length, and total length to meet your specific aircraft tooling or engine component requirements.

Q5: What causes a drill bit to “wander” or drill an off-center hole?

A: Wandering is often caused by a lack of rigidity or an incorrect point angle for the material. SAMHO bits feature optimized point geometries and high-rigidity shanks to ensure the bit starts accurately and maintains a straight path.

Q6: What is the advantage of a “Flat-Bottomed” drill?

A: Flat-bottomed drills are essential for creating holes with a 180-degree flat base, common in mold making for seating springs or ejector pins. They eliminate the need for a separate end milling operation.

Q7: How do I maintain my carbide drill bits for maximum longevity?

A: Always use the recommended feeds and speeds, ensure stable workholding to prevent vibration, and use proper lubrication (especially for metal). Periodic cleaning and inspection for micro-chipping can also prevent sudden tool failure.

Q8: Are SAMHO drill bits compatible with standard CNC power tools?

A: Absolutely. Our bits are designed with standard straight or hex shanks that are fully compatible with modern CNC machining centers and high-precision tool holders.

Q9: Why is the “Arc Cut In” method recommended for hard materials?

A: The Arc Cut In method provides a gradual engagement with the workpiece. This reduces the initial shock and vibration when the bit enters the material, ensuring a mark-free surface and protecting the delicate cutting edge.

Q10: What is the typical lead time for custom-engineered drill bits?

A: Standard HRC55/65 drill bits are usually ready for immediate dispatch. Custom geometries or specialized coating requests typically require 7-14 business days after drawing approval.
