I have a 1/4" or so solid carbide drill bit with coolant holes. Definitely not twisting one of those. I would say they are cast like that somehow.
Yes, I was thinking something similar to lost foam casting.Carbide? Hmmm, perhaps something analogous to lost-wax casting?
Not cast for the metal tools, I was thinking more like cemented carbide.I would think twisting after drilling. I too have seen that video, and cannot find it. Could it be done on the tiny drills? I would bet they can. I cannot imagine cast would be as strong. Another idea, is something like EDM. I have no expierience with that so I do not know its capabilities.
