Walter establishes solid carbide drill facility in the U.S.

Walter USA LLC has assumed governance of the round tool production unit in Greer, South Carolina, through an intra-company transfer within the Sandvik Group. Having a dedicated production facility in the U.S. will enable Walter to provide both better responsiveness to customer demand as well as improve supply chain security.

The first four-flute drill on the market!

The CERATIZIT WTX-HFDS solid carbide drill with Dragonskin coating achieves new levels of quality, hole tolerance, and positioning accuracy, with low burr formation while entering and exiting the hole. The core stability of the drill is retained with optimum cooling via four internal spiral coolant holes making the drilling process safe and effective. The pyramid geometry of the WTX-HFDS allows for higher speed rates and precise drilling performance and the cutting force is distributed to all four cutting edges, providing longer tool life and overall cost savings.
