Drills

Walter Surface Technologies announced the launch of its professional-grade, shock-resistant, extra-thick, polyethylene carrying case for the company's Super Speed Tip (SST) drill bits. Optimized from the original Walter metal index containers, the new highly visible orange polyethylene case offers increased durability and improved drill bit storage, according to the company.

With the success of the Twister XD series of high-performance drills, M.A. Ford is expanding the offering to include micro sizes down to 0.50mm in diameter. The MXDSR (Micro Xtreme Drill Solid Regular) 5X drills are designed for high-performance microdrilling in a broad range of materials.

Walter Surface Technologies announces the introduction of SST (Super Speed Tip) drill bits in the United States.

LACH DIAMOND says its newly developed PCD twist drill type PS saves up to 75 percent of time by reducing three previously necessary steps to one process. The new PCD twist drill completes piloting, drilling and reaming all in one “shot.”

The Dormer Force X upgrades the Dormer MPX solid-carbide drill family with new geometry, corner design and edge preparation. The upgrade applies to the 3xD R457 and R458 and the 5xD R453 and R454, bringing them in-line with the newly launched 8xD R459.

Allied Machine & Engineering announces its new GEN3SYS XT Pro line of high-penetration drilling products. The product line features enhanced holders and inserts with three unique geometries, and two advanced coatings.

Emuge Corp. announced it has expanded its EF-Series of high-penetration rate drills with a new line of submicrograin carbide coolant-fed microdrills. The EF high-performance microdrills range from 0.0295 in. (0.75 mm) up to 0.1181 in. (3.0 mm) in diameter, are all coolant through design, and are ideal for aerospace, medical and precision automotive applications designed for producing very small deep holes in steel, cast iron, stainless steels and nonferrous materials.

DrillMeister features simple and swift drill head indexing due to its self-clamping system. Tool replacement is easy: just replace the drill head. There is no need to remove the entire drill body from the toolholder and re-adjust the tool overhang, thus reducing a large amount of tool change time.

The RT 100 S drill from Guhring was especially developed for the complex machining of steel materials. It reportedly scores points thanks to high cutting values and consistently good hole quality. An especially stable and accurate cutting edge is produced thanks to the special micro-geometry.

Controx-Neuhauser introduces its Decoring Cut tool, which both drills through honeycomb composite panels and undercuts the skins (thus removing the cores) in a single labor-saving step. A sophisticated end tooth design enables Decoring Cut to cut through the top skin while maintaining tight tolerances with no delamination.
