BF2045 150mm Long Carbide Drill for Aluminum | 2.6–20mm

BF2045 150mm Long Carbide Drill for Aluminum

The BB Tool BF2045 150mm long carbide drill is an uncoated solid carbide drill designed for aluminum, copper, plastics, and similar non-ferrous or non-metal materials. Compared with standard-length drills, this long-length series gives extra reach for deeper holes or applications where more clearance is required.

This product is available in 150mm overall length with a diameter range of 2.6mm to 20.0mm. Choose the correct diameter from the variant list according to your required hole size.

Key Features

• BF2045 aluminum series: uncoated carbide drill for aluminum and similar non-ferrous or non-metal materials.
• 150mm long-length design: provides extended reach for deep holes, fixture clearance, or workpiece access limitations.
• Wide size selection: multiple diameter options from 2.6mm to 20.0mm help match different hole requirements.
• Bright, uncoated cutting edge: suitable for aluminum drilling and clean chip evacuation.
• Solid carbide construction: suitable for rigid CNC machines, milling machines, and drill presses.

How to Choose

• Choose the required drill diameter from the variant list.
• Choose 150mm length only when the application requires deeper reach or additional clearance.
• For maximum reach in this BF2045 group, compare the 200mm extra-long drill product.
• For better rigidity, choose 80mm, 100mm, or 120mm length if the shorter tool can reach the hole.

Usage Notes

• Recommended for CNC machines, drill presses, milling machines, and other rigid setups.
• Handheld electric drills are not recommended. Long carbide drills are hard but brittle, and unstable hand feed, vibration, or runout can cause chipping or breakage.
• Use accurate clamping and keep tool runout as low as possible.
• For long-reach drilling, avoid unnecessary overhang and ensure good chip evacuation.
• Use suitable peck drilling or chip-clearing strategy when drilling deeper holes.

FAQ

What materials is BF2045 mainly for?
BF2045 is BB Tool’s uncoated drill series for aluminum, copper, plastics, and similar non-ferrous or non-metal materials.

When should I choose a 150mm long carbide drill?
Choose 150mm length when the hole depth, fixture, or workpiece shape requires extended reach. If a shorter drill can reach the hole, it is usually more rigid.

Can I use this drill with a handheld electric drill?
It is not recommended. Long solid carbide drills require stable clamping and controlled runout.
