Maykestag Speeddrill+ Aluminium VHM Solid Carbide Drill 11.5mm 5xD AURODUR
High-performance 11.5mm solid carbide Speeddrill+ engineered specifically for aluminium, copper and brass, featuring AURODUR coating, Type W geometry, internal coolant channels, six guide chamfers and a 135° point for accurate, stable drilling up to 5xD.
The Maykestag Code 6848 Speeddrill+ Aluminium is a high-performance solid carbide drill developed specifically for efficient machining of aluminium and other suitable non-ferrous metals. Manufactured to DIN 6537L, this long-series 5xD drill combines specialised Type W geometry with internal coolant supply and Maykestag's AURODUR coating to support high cutting speeds, excellent chip evacuation and reliable hole quality.
The drill's six guide chamfers provide excellent guidance and stabilisation in the bore, helping maintain alignment and dimensional accuracy even when demanding cutting speeds and feed rates are used. Its specially developed smooth AURODUR surface helps reduce the tendency for aluminium to adhere to the cutting edge, limiting built-up edge formation and supporting consistent cutting performance.
What is a Speeddrill+ Aluminium drill? Speeddrill+ Aluminium is Maykestag's high-performance solid carbide drilling geometry designed specifically for non-ferrous materials. The combination of Type W flute geometry, internal coolant channels, multiple guide chamfers and a specialised coating provides the chip flow, cooling and stability required for productive drilling in aluminium, copper and brass.
Product highlights
- Solid carbide construction: Manufactured from VHM solid carbide for high rigidity, dimensional stability and excellent wear resistance at demanding cutting speeds.
- Designed for aluminium: Specialised cutting geometry is optimised for efficient machining of aluminium and suitable non-ferrous metals.
- AURODUR coating: Extremely smooth coated surface helps reduce built-up edge formation when drilling aluminium and other ductile non-ferrous materials.
- Six guide chamfers: Provide excellent drill guidance and stabilisation for accurate hole alignment, particularly at high cutting speeds and feeds.
- Internal coolant supply: Coolant channels deliver cutting fluid directly to the cutting zone for improved chip evacuation, cooling and process reliability.
- 5xD drilling depth: Designed for drilling holes to a maximum depth of approximately five times the nominal drill diameter under suitable machining conditions.
- 135° point angle: Purpose-designed point geometry provides controlled engagement and efficient cutting in the intended material groups.
- Type W geometry: Geometry suited to soft, long-chipping materials such as aluminium.
- DIN 6537L: Long-series solid carbide drill manufactured to established dimensional requirements.
- DIN 6535-HH shank: Precision cylindrical shank configuration designed for the internally cooled solid carbide drill.
Precision Made in Austria
Maykestag develops professional cutting tools around carefully controlled tool geometry, carbide quality, coatings and application-specific performance. The Speeddrill+ Aluminium range is engineered for productive machining where accurate hole position, reliable chip evacuation and consistent tool life are essential.
The Code 6848 range combines solid carbide construction with specialised aluminium geometry, internal coolant supply and AURODUR coating. For production workshops, CNC machining centres and precision engineering environments, this provides a purpose-built drilling solution rather than relying on a general-purpose carbide drill.
Built for High-Performance Aluminium Drilling
Aluminium can be demanding to drill at high productivity because its ductility encourages material adhesion and built-up edge formation. The Speeddrill+ Aluminium addresses these challenges with Type W chip geometry, an extremely smooth coated surface and internal coolant delivery. Six guide chamfers stabilise the drill inside the bore, helping maintain accurate alignment while supporting the higher cutting speeds and feed rates possible with solid carbide tooling.
