Drills

Part Processing Solutions

The recently launched tools, toolholders and chipbreakers move manufacturers toward better results easier, more quickly and with cost savings. "We're focused on developing new ways for our customers to solve age old problems while taking full advantage of their machine tools," said Mia Bökmark, Vice President Product Offer & Innovation at Seco. "We draw on more than 80 years of toolmaking experience to offer solutions for the real challenges in every shop."

The DCN drills feature cylindrical shanks, which enable clamping of the drill in hydraulic toolholders (most recommended) or in spring collets. All drill bodies feature helical coolant holes. Prior to using the 12xD drill, it is recommended to drill a pre-hole by using a DCN 1.5xD drill or a centering drill.

CHAM-IQ-DRILL

The CHAM-IQ-DRILL design body is produced from special steel for high durability and a special stopper prevents the drilling head from being extracted upwards from the pocket. Long stoppers provide high resistance to cutting forces, enabling applications under very high cutting conditions. 
High flute helix and polished flute surfaces provide a smooth and easy chip evacuation process. 
An internal coolant supply provides efficient cooling and lubrication during the drilling process. 

Ask CTE Contributors about Micromachining

The webinar, which is based on the "Tiny Drillers" feature published in the August issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine, delves deeper into the products and strategies recommended for deep-hole microdrilling by Kennametal Inc. and Sandvik Coromant Co. In addition, a representative from MAQ AB discussed the company's vibration-damped turning tool that is 8 mm in diameter, which was the subject of a sidebar to the main feature article in CTE's August issue.

MultiTOOL Program

MultiTAP tapping solution ranges from cut taps to form taps in different coatings, in addition to taps with extended lengths. MultiTHREAD MILL is an ideal general-purpose, cost-effective thread milling solution for job shops where part applications and materials frequently change. MultiDRILL™ features affordable, high-quality solid carbide 3XD and 5XD drills for manufacturers that have limited quantity production runs or operate in a job shop environment with many materials.

The Right Drill for Each Type of Titanium

Not all titanium is alike. Depending on whether it is pure titanium or alloyed titanium, the chip removing process behavior differs. For these challenges, Mikron Tool has developed drills tailored to specific titanium grades that can machine titanium safely — with higher cutting performance results, longer tool lives and excellent hole quality. The webinar, which is presented by Clive Komlenic, sales director, East, for Mikron Tool, addresses chip formation, torque, material properties, overheating and Mikron’s latest state-of-art drill series technologies aimed at machining titanium.

Superior drilling performance and long tool life

Tungaloy’s DrillMeister and AddMeisterDrill lines of head-changeable drills offer stable performance, long tool life, with significant cost-savings thanks to the elimination of tool reconditioning and reduced inventory. Our new modular drill body, combined with the TungFlex system, ensures increased reliability of long-reach drilling for hole depths up to 3xD.

DC180 Supreme

When compared to competing drills, the DC180 Supreme has a tool life that is about 50% longer. An additional benefit for the DC180 drill is universal application at the highest cutting speeds. The drill is suitable for high production volume applications with a large number of holes, such as in the automotive industry. Other areas of use include the aerospace and energy industries, mold and die making, and general mechanical engineering.

Iscar’s New IHP Sumocham Heads Optimized for Drilling Non-Alloy/Carbon Steel

Iscar continues to provide high performance drilling solutions with the IHP drill head geometry and edge prep are optimized for drilling Non-Alloy / Carbon Steel. The design’s strengthened cutting edge not only extends tool life but works well in non-rigid applications where other geometries may not be as suitable. The drill heads are available in IC948 TiAlCrN PVD grade coating in the following size range 394” to .866” in .004” increments.
