When surface finish, diameter, straightness, or roundness requirements are closer than traditional drilling operations can produce, it may be necessary to add a drill, endmill or single-point boring tool to the operation, often at the expense of poor chip control.

Iscar introduces a new line of replaceable carbide heads for counterboring operations. The F3B heads feature chip deflectors for excellent chip control in a wide range of materials. They are offered in 0.1 mm (0.004") increments from Ø12-25.5 mm (0.472-1.004") and mount on standard tool bodies from the QUICK3CHAM drilling line. Three flutes provide improved quality three times faster than single point.
