The idea of designing drills for higher feed rates by adding a third cutting edge is nothing new. However, due to the challenging chip evacuation, these tools have so far only been suitable for a few applications, such as machining cast iron.

Among them: clearing the chips, getting coolant down deep, and holding tolerances on position, diameter and surface finish. As Warfield observes in this episode, "all of this means we need to use some special strategies whenever we have to go more than 5 diameters deep, and that's what this video is all about."

FCP4 High-Production Drill Grinder
ANCA offers the FCP4 high-production drill grinder (FCP4). Producing drills from 0.8 to 4mm with the new technology provides an exciting opportunity for drill makers, with important efficiencies and cost benefits by manufacturing a complete HSS drill on a single machine, according to the company.
