Can produce flat bottom drill also be used for processing soft materials?

Many customers ask when purchasing drill bits, "Isn't the hollow flat bottom drill designed specifically for hard materials? Will it be over designed for processing aluminum or copper alloys?" In fact, AMG hollow flat bottom drills are not only suitable for difficult to process materials, but also perform well and even have advantages in processing soft metals or composite materials.


This cutting tool adopts a hollow structure and a flat bottomed blade design, which can reduce the contact area between the tool body and the workpiece and lower the cutting resistance. For materials such as aluminum alloy, plastic, copper, etc. that are prone to sticking to the knife, void design can actually help reduce heat accumulation and avoid the formation of chip lumps and burrs at the bottom of the hole. Meanwhile, the DLC or TiAlN coating it is paired with can significantly reduce the friction coefficient and improve surface smoothness.


In practical applications, AMG customers have found that the drill bit performs stably in scenarios such as mold manufacturing, 3C electronics, and medical equipment component processing. Especially in the precision blind hole processing of soft materials, it can complete high-precision flat bottom holes in one go without the need for secondary trimming, greatly improving processing efficiency.


In addition, AMG also supports small batch customization services to meet personalized needs under different working conditions. Whether you are processing stainless steel or soft aluminum parts, choosing the right drill bit is a key step in improving quality.
