Drills & Drill Bits

Combat rising carbide costs with Tungaloy’s DrillMeister series, a head-changeable drill system that offers a wide range of drilling heads for diverse applications. DrillMeister reduces carbide waste and minimizes downtime, helping manufacturers protect the bottom line and stay competitive in an environment where prices remain volatile.

The Sphinx Drinox Pilot Step Drill at 3xd from BIG DAISHOWA features a unique design that the company says delivers up to three times longer tool life, three times higher coolant-through output and three times faster drilling.

The Force lineup of solid carbide metal cutting drills from Dormer Pramet helps overcome drilling performance challenges through a combination of advanced geometries, optimized coatings, and innovative flute designs.

When surface finish, diameter, straightness, or roundness requirements are closer than traditional drilling operations can produce, it may be necessary to add a drill, endmill or single-point boring tool to the operation, often at the expense of poor chip control.

In connection with the launch of the Drion·tec E-Peak D5150 exchangeable head drill, Walter held a digital press conference Oct.

OSG USA Inc. released a range of new products to its tooling portfolio, including end mills, drills and inserts.

Emuge-Franken USA, a manufacturer of high-performance taps, thread mills, end mills, drills, and other rotary tools, has expanded its solid carbide drill program in North America, introducing SteelDrill and InoxDrill, two all-new lines of drills.

Economics of Drilling Sidebar: Selecting the right drill to reduce costs and enhance productivity depends on the material and production requirements.

Economics of Drilling Sidebar: the SUMOCHAM line of drills are designed to enhance productivity, precision and cost-efficiency.

Labor is the largest expense in a machine shop, which is why every shop must balance tooling costs and labor efficiency to optimize drilling operations.

OSG USA Inc., St. Charles, Illinois, introduces the new HY-PRO CARB ALD carbide drill series designed for non-ferrous materials. The HY-PRO CARB ALD HP343 and HP355 are engineered to deliver exceptional performance and precision.

A six-fluted countersink will remove more material per revolution than will a four-flute or single-flute tool. While the single-flute countersink is slow cutting, it will work well in a non-rigid machining setup. Four flutes provide more chip clearance than six do. This is a consideration in machining stringy materials such as some plastics and nonferrous alloys.
