OSG Tap & Die (OSG) announces the addition of 8D sizes to its HY-PRO-CARB drill series offering. OSG's HY-PRO-CARB drills are for a multitude of materials. Their unique point and flute geometry reduce thrust forces and chip size. Higher feeds and metal removal rates may be achieved with the addition of coolant-through capabilities.

The series' applied multi-layered TiAlN coating resists thermo-cracking from heat, thus improving wear resistance over conventional coatings. Lastly, the common DIN shank sizes not only improve rigidity, but also reduce the number of tool holders needed to accommodate them.

The HY-PRO-CARB drill series consists of 3D and 5D sizes in both solid and coolant-through, and 8D in coolant-through only.
