Drill Point Die Selector
Select screw size and optional Dø to view catalog candidates. Thickness and material provide context for engineering review.
Screw Size
IFI designation of your target screw
Substrate Thickness
Optional assembly context; does not determine catalog candidates
Screw Material
Optional production context; confirm the actual blank condition
Drill Diameter
Specific drill tip diameter (Dø)
Why Use This Tool?
Find Catalog Candidates
View available series and codes for the screw size and optional Dø before engineering confirmation.
Prepare Engineering Inputs
Provide actual blank condition, machine fit and production goals for material and coating trials.

Send the candidate codes with your drawing and production context. The engineering team can confirm details needed for a quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose between L-series?
Select the approved point geometry and tested finished-fastener requirements, then compare the catalog flute length and style for each available code. Size and Dø filter candidates; plate thickness alone does not establish a series or structural qualification.
When should I use tungsten carbide vs HSS?
Choose carbide or HSS according to wire condition, die geometry, impact loading and total cost per part. Carbide can improve wear resistance; HSS may offer useful toughness and lower initial cost. Neither stainless steel nor a fixed batch size alone determines the correct material. Confirm by trial forming.
Is PVD coating necessary?
PVD coating is optional and application-dependent. CrN is one candidate for reducing adhesive wear when forming stainless steel. Coating choice requires compatible die material, surface preparation and lubrication, and should be validated by production trials.
