Drilling & Boring
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.
Deep hole drilling strategy
Sandvik Coromant offers a deep hole drilling strategy using its CoroDrill 861-GP and 861-GM drills in this brief video supplement to "A Happy Medium," a feature article in the October 2021 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering that delves into effectively drilling austempered ductile iron.

Gunning for deep holes
The UNE series of gundrilling machines are a good fit for high-volume/low-mix or low-volume/high-mix manufacturing environments.
DrillMeister AH9130 Grade Drill Heads
AH9130 is Tungaloy's latest PVD technology specifically designed for high-performance drilling applications. With better wear resistance compared with existing first-choice grade AH725, the grade delivers extremely long tool life in drilling applications, particularly of carbon steel and alloy steel.
18-Inch Gear Head Bench Drill Press
The 18-Inch Gear Head Bench Drill Press all-gear head driven transmission delivers full power at any speed, driving the cutting tools at nearly 100% of the available horsepower. To ensure positive, quiet operation, the bench drill uses combined steel and reinforced fibers. The ground steel clutches enhance its performance and strength.
Extreme Drilling from Guhring
Designed for extreme drilling in steels, Guhring's RT100 XF drill family delivers. The carbide grade developed for the RT100 XF balances hardness and toughness.
Boring: Never dull start to finish
Finishing boring processes with the right tools boosts accuracy and surface quality.
538 (537) Boring Cassette with 3ETECH Digital Display
Made of hardened steel, it is extremely robust and resistant to all external mechanical influences. It can be used on serrated tool bodies and Alu-Line slide tools in the diameter range from 3.937" – 128.15" (100 mm – 3255 mm). Additionally, this precision boring tool can be adjusted without the aid of the readout. Its diameter can be set via a vernier scale in 0.0001" (0.002 mm) increments. This new tool offers an excellent price/performance ratio with extreme accuracy and strength in any industry.
