Maykestag Speeddrill 4.0-Inox HPC Solid Carbide Drill 5.4mm 5xD

High-performance 5.4mm solid carbide drill from the Maykestag Speeddrill 4.0-Inox series, engineered for demanding stainless-steel drilling with a 140° point, four guide chamfers, internal coolant supply and wear-resistant NANODUR coating.

The Maykestag Code 6897 Speeddrill 4.0-Inox is an HPC solid carbide drill developed for productive and accurate machining of stainless steels and other demanding materials. Manufactured to DIN 6537 L in a long 5xD design, it combines a rigid solid-carbide construction with optimised cutting geometry, internal coolant channels and four guide chamfers for controlled guidance and excellent hole roundness.

This 5.40mm version features a 6.00mm precision shank, 44mm cutting length and 82mm overall length. The specialised INOX geometry and NANODUR coating are designed to withstand the thermal and abrasive conditions encountered when drilling stainless steels, helping to maintain cutting-edge stability and reliable performance during high-performance production drilling.

What is an HPC solid carbide drill? HPC stands for High Performance Cutting. An HPC solid carbide drill is designed to operate at demanding cutting parameters while maintaining accuracy, efficient chip evacuation and dependable tool life. Solid carbide provides high rigidity and wear resistance, while optimised cutting geometry and coolant delivery help control heat and chips during drilling.

Product highlights

  • Speeddrill 4.0-Inox: High-performance drill geometry developed specifically with stainless-steel and difficult-material machining in mind.
  • Solid carbide construction: Provides high rigidity, dimensional stability and excellent resistance to cutting-edge wear.
  • 5xD drilling depth: Long-series geometry designed for drilling to depths of approximately five times the drill diameter.
  • DIN 6537 L: Manufactured to the recognised dimensional standard for long-series solid carbide drills.
  • Four guide chamfers: Provide additional support and guidance inside the hole, helping achieve excellent roundness and stable drilling.
  • Internal coolant supply: Coolant channels deliver cutting fluid directly towards the cutting zone for improved cooling, lubrication and chip evacuation.
  • 140° point angle: Optimised point geometry supports controlled penetration and efficient drilling in the intended material groups.
  • Special INOX geometry: Developed for reliable, high-performance drilling in stainless steels and other demanding materials.
  • NANODUR coating: High-performance coating developed for demanding drilling applications and improved wear resistance.
  • Type N geometry: Precision drill geometry designed for effective chip formation and controlled cutting.
  • DIN 6535-HA shank: Cylindrical precision shank for accurate and secure tool holding.

Why Choose Maykestag?

Maykestag develops and manufactures professional cutting tools with a strong focus on tool geometry, material technology and reliable machining performance. The Speeddrill 4.0 generation combines modern solid-carbide technology with carefully developed cutting geometries and advanced coatings to provide high productivity while maintaining accuracy and tool life.

The Code 6897 Speeddrill 4.0-Inox series is engineered around the requirements of stainless-steel drilling. Its four guide chamfers help stabilise the drill and improve hole roundness, while internal coolant delivery assists with heat control and chip evacuation. Together with NANODUR coating and the specialised INOX cutting geometry, this provides a high-performance drilling solution for professional production environments.

Engineered for Stainless-Steel Drilling

Stainless steels can generate considerable heat at the cutting edge and may work-harden when machining conditions are not correctly controlled. The Speeddrill 4.0-Inox combines specialised cutting geometry, a wear-resistant coating, internal coolant supply and rigid solid-carbide construction to support efficient chip formation and heat removal. The four guide chamfers provide additional support as the drill travels through the workpiece, helping maintain alignment and hole quality throughout the drilling cycle.

Blue ring classification

The blue identification ring identifies the Speeddrill 4.0-Inox application family. The geometry, carbide construction, coating and internal coolant system of the Code 6897 series are developed around high-performance drilling of stainless steels while also providing excellent suitability across a wide range of steel materials.

What is NANODUR coating?

NANODUR is the high-performance coating specified by Maykestag for the Code 6897 Speeddrill 4.0-Inox series. It provides a wear-resistant surface designed to protect the cutting edges under demanding machining conditions and support dependable tool life when drilling stainless steels and other suitable materials.

Understanding the 5xD designation

The 5xD designation describes the drilling-depth class of the tool relative to its diameter. For this 5.40mm drill, five times the diameter equals approximately 27mm. The tool itself has a 44mm cutting length and an overall length of 82mm. Always use the MaySpeedGuide to determine the correct cutting and drilling parameters for the specific material and application.

Four guide chamfers

The Speeddrill 4.0 uses four guide chamfers around the drill body. These additional guiding surfaces help stabilise the drill inside the hole and support accurate guidance, good hole roundness and consistent drilling performance, particularly during high-performance machining.
