Sutton D371 0750 7.5mm 12xD Solid Carbide Drill, AlCrN tip, Internal Coolant
Available
The Sutton D371 is a 12xD solid carbide (VHM) drill with internal coolant supply, a 30° right-hand helix (R30) and a 135° Form C point. It carries an AlCrN tip coating, has an HA shank to DIN 6535 and is for materials up to 1200 N/mm². This range has 83 sizes from 3 to 12 mm.
The strong core and the micro geometry and surface conditioning are designed for optimal chip control, and the internal coolant supply carries coolant to the cutting edges through the drill. The AlCrN tip finish is designed for maximum tool life. The drill diameter (d1) tolerance is m7 and the shank diameter (d2) tolerance is h6. At 12xD this is the long-reach drill in the carbide internal-coolant family, for deeper holes than the 3xD to 8xD drills.

Cutting speeds and feeds
The application guide gives cutting speeds (Vc) and feed numbers for this drill, with Optimal ratings in bold and Effective ratings in regular type; the Rating column shows the same split. The rpm and feed columns show what the speed and feed number work out to at Ø6 mm and Ø10 mm (speed in rpm = Vc × 1000 ÷ (π × Ø)). Treat these as starting values and adjust for the machine, set-up and coolant.

Drilling notes
- Step feeding or pecking is required for drilling greater than 3 x Ø.
- When drilling a cast or black (not machined) surface, reduce the drilling speed by 20%.
- For optimal positional accuracy and hole size, the use of spot drills is recommended prior to drilling the desired hole; see Sutton's spotting drill range (D175).
- For hole depths greater than 7 x Ø, pre-drill a pilot hole first for more accurate hole position and to stop the drill wandering. The pilot can be drilled with a short, rigid drill about 3 x Ø deep at reduced feed.
Accuracy
The drill diameter (d1) tolerance is m7 and the shank diameter (d2) tolerance is h6.
