Star Cutter Express
There are two stocked and standard product offerings where gundrills are delivered within 24 hours of the order. The SFGD Express program is for Single Flute Gundrills in diameters from 0.1250" - 0.7500" (3.175mm - 19.050mm) and lengths up to 48" (1219mm). The SCGD Express program is for Single Flute Solid Carbide Gundrills with standard ½" steel shanks in diameters from 0.0355"- 0.1969" (0.902mm - 5.000mm) in lengths from 4"- 12" (102mm - 305mm), depending on the tool diameter.
Radian Plus and vProbe/iScan3D Bundles
Both bundles include API's Radian Plus Laser Tracker, which is known for its high accuracy and long-range measurement capabilities. Also available are API's vProbe, a high-precision, non-contact measurement probe that is ideal for use in tight spaces and hard-to-reach areas or iScan3D, a high-speed handheld scanner with flexible probe locations for all part inspection or reverse engineering applications. Together, these products provide a complete measurement solution for a wide range of industrial and manufacturing applications.

PM2 Pinion Series
The PM2 pinion option is available for gearboxes sizes 090 to 200 and, like the PM1 pinions, is available for a total of four gearbox series with a flanged output shaft: Among them is the PFHE coaxial planetary gearbox from the Economy Line, which comprises durable and powerful standard gearboxes with an excellent price/performance ratio. In the case of the Precision Line, which provides the high accuracy of precision gearboxes, these are the PSFN and PLFN coaxial planetary gearboxes and the space-saving WPSFN right-angle gearbox. All PM2 pinions are manufactured at the Neugart parent plant in Kippenheim, Baden.
