Tungaloy has further expanded its DrillMeister exchangeable head drill system by adding 30 more DMP drill heads in AH9130 grade to further improve the drill’s wear resistance for general purpose drilling applications that require hole diameters ranging from 6.0 to 25.9 mm (.236″-1.020″). This expansion is scheduled to be completed by the end of August 2021.
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.
With increased DMP offerings in AH9130 grade, DrillMeister provides optimal solution with maximum tool life and wear prediction across all ranges of drilling applications.
The DrillMeister and DMP drill head
DrillMeister exchangeable head drills are a super productive, accurate, and cost efficient drill series. A single drill body can hold five different styles of drill heads in diameters ranging from 6.0 mm to 25.9 mm (.236″ to 1.020″). The drill heads are available in general purpose DMP style, DMC for high precision holes, DMH with enhanced drill corner geometry for drilling thin walls, DMF with flat edges ideal for counterboring, and DMN for non-ferrous applications.
The DMP style drill head features a 140 degree tip angle with a sharp cutting edge and optimized flute configuration that allows safe chip evacuation and tool stability.
Enlarging one end of a drilled hole. The enlarged hole, which is concentric with the original hole, is flat on the bottom. Counterboring is used primarily to set bolt heads and nuts below the workpiece surface.
Tool-coating process performed at low temperature (500° C), compared to chemical vapor deposition (1,000° C). Employs electric field to generate necessary heat for depositing coating on a tool’s surface. See CVD, chemical vapor deposition.
Ability of the tool to withstand stresses that cause it to wear during cutting; an attribute linked to alloy composition, base material, thermal conditions, type of tooling and operation and other variables.

Tungaloy continuously expands the advantages of its AddMeisterDrill exchangeable-head drill solution into a smaller diameter range. Ten new DMC precision drill heads have been added to the line for diameters ranging from 4.0 mm (.157″) to 4.9 mm (.192″), expanding the entire range from 4.0 mm (.157…
Tungaloy has expanded its AddInternalCut groove turning tool series to include new TCIG12 inserts as well as additional TCIG10 inserts that allow a maximum groove width of 3.0 millimeters (.118 inches) in bores as small as 10.5 millimeter (.413 inch) diameter.
DoTriple-Mill and DoQuad-Mill face milling cutters now offer AH3225 grade inserts with Tungaloy’s latest coating technology. The nano-multilayer structure, strong coating-substrate adherence, and super-hard coating surface, engineered, the coating provide the grade with superior wear and fracture…
Turning threads on hardened parts can be a challenge when using coated cemented carbide inserts: the cutting edge rapidly wears out before finishing the entire thread profiles, inhibiting greater feed rates and D.O.Cs. to be applied for increased productivity. Of all Tungaloy CBN grades, BX330…
AddForceBarrel uses inserts whose cutting edges have a large-radius arc of either 20 mm (.787″) or 30 mm (1.181″), designed for semi-finish profiling of 3D surfaces. Just like the TungMeister’s barrel milling heads, AddForceBarrel provides much greater engagement area between the cutting edge and…
The coarse pitch cutters retain a prominent feature of TungForce-Rec that provides maximum tool rigidity during demanding operations. In addition, flutes on the cutter body are designed with large chip space to promote smooth evacuation, preventing chips from clogging during operations.
348 inserts added to stainless steel turning grade series of AH6225, AH6235, and T6215. AH6225 is a first-choice grade designed to provide excellent machining performance in general stainless steel turning operations, extending from continuous to light interrupted cuts. AH6235 is another PVD-coated…
The DMH drill head geometry is designed to protect drill corners and provide effective chip evacuation, making the drill head suited for applications that involve drilling holes through thin plates. The increased cutting edge strength resists thin-plate snapback and wear from exit burrs, preventing…
NS chipbreaker features a three-dimensional chipbreaker that is directly engraved on the PCD tip using the latest technology. This allows the generation of short chips during the machining of gummy metals such as aluminum and copper alloys, significantly reducing machine downtime due to chip…
TungCut CBN-tipped STH inserts provide the solution to these challenges with a completely new turning concept. In the shape of TungCut grooving insert, the new STH inserts perform finish-turning by feeding the insert sideways on the worked surface. Its CBN cutting edge features a unique wiper…
