Drilling

The new 4TEX® drill is engineered to deliver optimal chip formation and evacuation and provide higher penetration rates than standard twist drills for light duty machines. This indexable insert drill excels in applications with interrupted cuts or when drilling on angled surfaces. The design increases core strength, improving hole size and straightness. Dual twisted coolant outlets improve penetration rates by enhancing coolant flow and generating superior chip formation and evacuation.

Nachi’s newest drill, the Aqua REVO has improved all 3 aspects of the cutting tool. New carbide, geometry and surface treatment from Nachi provides not only longer tool life but versatility as well. The Aqua REVO drill is revolutionizing the world of product manufacturing.

KenTIP FS is suitable for many challenging operations. Chain hole drilling in steel is one of them. While KenTIP FS has four coolant holes — two at the tip and two in the chip gullet directly behind the head — the HPG geometry comes without front coolant holes. When drilling in steel it's important to concentrate on coolant delivery to the rake and take the heat from the contact zone between chip and rake surface. The new HPG geometry is especially designed for steel, and comes in the hew, highly wear resistant grade KCP15A.
