DWL1900XY 2-Axis Vertical Precision Digital Level
Equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, the DWL1900XY seamlessly integrates with the Digi-PasR Smart Level mobile app, enabling real-time data visualization on smartphones and unlocking other advanced features including simultaneous multi-axes readouts, multi devices connectivity, multiple units of measure- ment and self-calibration, among others.
Countersinks
A six-fluted countersink will remove more material per revolution than will a four-flute or single-flute tool. While the single-flute countersink is slow cutting, it will work well in a non-rigid machining setup. Four flutes provide more chip clearance than six do. This is a consideration in machining stringy materials such as some plastics and nonferrous alloys.
