Tungaloy has added 8xD drill bodies to its DrillForceMeister exchangeable-head drill line for opening holes in diameters from 20 millimeters (.787 inches) to 41 millimeters (1.614 inches).
DrillForceMeister incorporates a unique head-shank coupling interface that provides exceptional reliability when drilling relatively large diameter holes from 20 millimeters to 41 millimeters. When clamped, the drill head interlocks with the shank at larger contact areas, promoting high hole precisions and qualities. Furthermore, with the SMF flat-edged drill head, drilling operations on inclined or curved surfaces or on thin walls susceptible to vibration are made easier and more efficient.
Tool replacement is performed simply by exchanging the drill heads; there is no need to remove the drill body from the chuck or readjust the tool overhang, saving significant amount of tool setup time.
DrillForceMeister now offers nine 8xD drill bodies in cutting diameters (DC) for 28.0-28.9 millimeters (1.102-1.138 inches), 31.0-31.9 millimeters (1.220-1.256 inches), and 34.0 to 41.9 millimeters (1.339-1.650), in 0.1 millimeter (.0039 inch) increments.
Workholding device that affixes to a mill, lathe or drill-press spindle. It holds a tool or workpiece by one end, allowing it to be rotated. May also be fitted to the machine table to hold a workpiece. Two or more adjustable jaws actually hold the tool or part. May be actuated manually, pneumatically, hydraulically or electrically. See collet.
Designed to ensure low cutting force, the TCL18-style chipbreaker is the latest addition to Tungaloy’s TetraMini-Cut line of grooving inserts offering four cutting edges. TetraMini-Cut features a compact grooving insert with economical four cutting edges.
Tungaloy is introducing the M714B T-CBN grade for finish machining of heat-resistant superalloys. M714B contains submicron-sized fine CBN grains and alumina as a binder providing the grade with high thermal stability.
Tungaloy is expanding its DoFeed line of high-feed milling cutters to include AH3225 grade inserts. DoFeed is a high-feed milling cutter series with a close-pitched insert alignment, addressing various application needs where an efficient removal of large stock is required.
Tungaloy is expanding its TungTurn-Jet series of high-pressure coolant capable turning holders by adding a coolant-through feature and Double-Clamp technology for rigid insert holding and high productivity.
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").
