PCD-Tipped Drills
Fives Cinetic has launched a line of CITCO/Gardner high-performance PCD-tipped drills, which are available in a diameter range from 1.5mm to 19mm. The drills, with a tungsten carbide body and solid PCD drill point, maintain both strength and accuracy when drilling composites and non-ferrous materials, according to the company. The tools' cutting edges stay sharp longer than conventional tools that tend to wear easily when machining tough, abrasive materials.
