Drills & Drill Bits

Tungaloy is expanding its DeepTri-Drill line of indexable gundrills to cover diameters ranging from 37.0 mm to 40.0 mm.

Tungaloy is expanding its AH9130 drill head grade series to include the DMP drill head line of the DrillMeister head-changeable drill series.

Tungaloy's DrillMeister exchangeable-head drill line now includes new TID-type drills in cylindrical shanks that accommodate drill head diameters ranging from 10.0 mm to 19.9 mm (0.398" to 0.783").

Tungaloy's DeepTri-Drill line of indexable deep-hole drills now includes FH3135-grade guide pads.

Who doesn't know the old saw "Time is money?" Using POLYdrill multiple-spindle heads from SUHNER, many have taken advantage of this wisdom and made money the old fashioned way for 30 years and counting.

Guhring has just introduced a new drill family to the U.S.: the RT 100 XF. A new proprietary carbide grade, developed by Guhring specifically for the RT 100 XF, demonstrates the wear resistance to meet the demanding requirements of high-production machining and the durability to survive in less rigid machining conditions.

A cost-effective option for large-diameter drilling, the Dormer Hydra program supports structural and general engineering applications. The range of solid-carbide heads – for steel, stainless steel and cast iron – are married together with a high-speed steel body.

Certain processes and high-performance drills are especially important for guaranteeing reliability and high quality in deep-hole drilling. Tool manufacturer Inovatools supports the metalworking industry in mold and tool construction, in the automotive and supply sectors and in the aerospace industry, for example, with efficient cutting solutions for deep drilling.

Tungaloy unveils TungBoreMini, a multifunctional drilling and turning tool line. TungBoreMini unifies the capabilities of drilling, OD and ID turning tools, allowing significant time saving when changing tools and better utilization of the machine.

During drilling from solid in steel, the focus is on quality, time and cost-effectiveness. And these topics are therefore also in the foreground during the development of new tools. Along with the Tritan-Drill Steel, which is the tool of choice for the highest cost-effectiveness even in difficult drilling situations, MAPAL has developed new tools for special applications with clear added value for the user.

Kennametal introduced another high-performance cutting tool, the B21*SGL solid-carbide drill with through-coolant. Designed for stainless steel, nickel and cobalt-based alloys, the B21*SGL with patented point geometry and monolayer PVD AlTiN coating, delivers improved productivity and longer tool life for aerospace and energy applications requiring predictable, high-production drilling.

A drill, a milling cutter, an ultimate machining strategy with perfectly tuned parameters; this is needed, when machining medical screws made from titanium or stainless steels. Mikron Tool developed a turnkey solution, which simultaneously does the machining of hex lobular bone screws (better known as Torx) 50% faster, guaranteeing also a high degree of precision of the profile and achieving nearly burr-free results.
