Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is a pilot hole required when drilling deep holes with 16D, 20D, 25D, or 30D micro drills?

Yes, for micro deep-hole drilling above 12D, it is strongly advised to machine a pilot hole using a 1D–3D pilot micro drill of identical or +0.02mm diameter. This ensures correct lead-in guidance and prevents micro-drill deflection or breakage.

Q2: What runout tolerance is recommended for high-precision micro drilling?

We recommend a total indicated runout (TIR) within 0.003 mm (≤ 3 μm) at the tool tip, paired with high-precision collet chucks, shrink-fit chucks, or hydraulic toolholders.

Q3: Can Durable Mills provide custom sizes or OEM batch production?

Absolutely. Durable Mills supports bespoke geometries, step micro-drills, proprietary coating choices, and custom overall lengths for volume B2B procurement.

Q4: How can I request technical data sheets or a bulk quotation?
