Drills

Allied Machine & Engineering says its line of replaceable-tip Original T-A drill systems significantly reduces downtime compared to solid tools. The T-A drill system features high-performance inserts and holders ideal for automotive holemaking applications used in manufacturing engine blocks, crankshafts, piston and suspension parts.

Sumitomo Electric Carbide Inc. has expanded its SMD replaceable-head drill line to include 12XD drills. SMD replaceable-head drills reportedly allow for deep holemaking at a lower cost because SMD users buy just one drill body to fit up to five head sizes.

Replaceable head systems in the machining industry are the first choice when it comes to meeting the demands of rising raw material prices, resource efficiency and streamlining of stocks. Reason enough to further develop the triple cutting edged Tritan-Drill with which MAPAL has defined a new standard in drilling as a replaceable head variant.
