Drilling a Brake Disc

0:53 clip · shop-floor footage · Huamin Tools

The longest clip in the collection, and the only drilling operation: a brake disc drilled through, with the chip evacuation visible from start to exit.

What the clip shows

  • Through-drilling a cast iron brake disc
  • Chip evacuation and drill exit in frame
  • Longer cycle, so heat build-up is visible

Why this insert suits the cut

Drilling is where a brake disc job can stall. Cast iron chips break short if the drill geometry suits the material; if not, they pack the flutes and the drill overheats before the hole is through.

Where this part is used

Drilled brake discs are common on ventilated and two-piece designs. The hole pattern has to repeat across thousands of parts, so tool life matters more than a single fast hole.

What to send with an inquiry

  • Hole diameter, depth and pattern count
  • Whether the disc is drilled before or after turning
  • Coolant-through or external supply

Send the drawing, material and current tool problem. We will recommend an insert direction for the operation.
