Troy, Michigan – Developed with optimum performance and value in mind, the Universal Drill will soon hit the market. The solid-carbide drill combines a special multi-purpose geometry with advanced coating technology to provide reliable, predictable tool life and the lowest cost per hole, especially in high-volume production environments.
The Universal Drill’s rigid four-facet point geometry provides excellent centering capability, maintains an IT8/9 hole tolerance and is easy to regrind. A polished AlCrN coating gives the drill high abrasion resistance, toughness, and good chip evacuation capabilities.
Well suited for holemaking applications across all industry segments and a wide scope of work-piece materials, including steels, stainless steels, and cast irons, the versatility of the Universal Drill helps reduce required tooling inventories.
Available drill diameter sizes range from 3mm to 20mm with increments of 0.1mm. For efficient chip evacuation, the 5xD and 3xD length drills with cylindrical shanks offer the option of through-tool coolant capability. All Universal Drills are compatible with Seco shrinkfit holders, hydraulic chucks and high-precision collet chucks.
