Developed with optimal performance and value in mind, the new Universal Drill from Niagara Cutter is a solid-carbide drill that combines a special multi-purpose geometry with advanced coating technology to reportedly provide reliable, predictable tool life and a low cost per hole, especially in high-volume production environments.

The Universal Drill's rigid four-facet point geometry provides excellent centering capability, maintains an IT8/9 hole tolerance and is easy to regrind. A polished AlCrN coating gives the drill high abrasion resistance, toughness and good chip evacuation capabilities.

Well suited for holemaking applications across all industry segments and a wide scope of workpiece materials, including steels, stainless steels and cast irons, the versatility of the Universal Drill helps reduce required tooling inventories.

Available drill diameter sizes range from 3mm to 20mm with increments of 0.1mm. For efficient chip evacuation, the 5 x D and 3 x D length drills with cylindrical shanks offer the option of through-tool coolant capability. All Universal Drills are compatible with Seco shrink-fit holders, hydraulic chucks and precision collet chucks.
