Available in:
3xD | 5xD | 5xD Through-Tool Coolant | 8xD Through-Tool Coolant

These solid-carbide drills have a geometry designed for general drilling in steel and cast iron. These drills are coated with TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride) for high wear resistance and lower friction, as well as higher cutting feeds and speeds, and improved hole quality (roundness, straightness, and surface roughness). They have a 140° point-angle for good centering and low thrust, and wave-shaped cutting edges for low thrust, stable torque, and long tool life. Radius point thinning improves self-centering and chip breaking capabilities. The flute shape is optimized for strength and smooth chip evacuation, and a negative land on the cutting edge provides reliable and stable tool life.

Available in:
5xD Through-Tool Coolant | 8xD Through-Tool Coolant

These solid-carbide drills have a special flute geometry and chip pocket that ensure proper chip curl, with a rigid and strong cutting edge that makes them optimal for stainless steel and pre-hardened steel, as well as aluminum alloys. These drills are coated with TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride) for high wear resistance and lower friction, as well as higher cutting feeds and speeds, and improved hole quality (roundness, straightness, and surface roughness). The 140° point-angle provides good centering and lowers thrust, and the positive axial rake angle and cutting edge with radius thinning enhance centering and chip breaking.

 

 

Carbide Drills, DLC Coated (AL - Aluminum, TSC):

For Aluminum

    N  ●      

 

Available in:
5xD Through-Tool Coolant

These solid carbide drills are designed specifically for high-performance drilling in aluminum and aluminum alloys. They feature a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating that is extremely hard, with a very low coefficient of friction, and excellent adhesion resistance. The flute shape and geometry of these drills are optimized for maximum chip removal, with polished flutes for improved chip control and evacuation, and optimized point thinning to prevent clogging from chip welding. The geometry and smooth finish prevent built-up edge, and allow for high-speed drilling in aluminum, with excellent hole quality (roundness, straightness, and surface roughness).

 

 

Carbide Drills, Hybrid AlCrN Coated (HF - High Feed, TSC):

For Steel and Cast Iron

    P  ●          K  ●     

 

Available in:
5xD Through-Tool Coolant

These solid carbide drills are designed specifically for high-feed applications in steel and cast iron. They feature an Aluminum Chromium Nitride (Hybrid AlCrN) coating for increased wear resistance and lower friction. Radius point thinning improves self-centering and chip breaking capabilities. The unique 3-flute design offers higher feed rates and further improves hole quality (roundness, straightness, and surface roughness) compared to conventional 2-flute drills and are paired with a 140° point angle for good centering and low thrust. The advanced wide flute design allows for much greater chip evacuation and a longer tool life.
