Looking to reduce a machining op from 3 tools down to 1 hopefully by using a carbide drill. Very small production batch of 100-300 parts for a home shop using a Fadal 4020 with 10K spindle. Not the quickest tool changer in the world and already knocked more than a few hours off the process by switching to a vacuum fixture.
Material: 6061-T6
.400 Depth of Thru hole.
.250 Dia -/+ .0015
Positional: -/+ .030
No surface finish call out - Part is hard anodize later.
Flat surface to start.
Would a carbide drill from Maritool or Guhring be able to meet the -/+ .0015 spec? Would love to remove the center drill, drill and ream operation from this.
