Santa Fe Springs, California – Precision Cutting Tools has introduced the new FXC Series of solid carbide straight flute drills for drilling aluminum alloys and gray cast iron applications. The drills are for the automotive and aerospace industries and operations that require tight tolerance holes.
The tools feature a total of four margins for increased stability and accuracy. In addition, the FXC Series drills can achieve higher speeds and feeds than standard twist drills, reducing cycle times.
The combination of the coolant-hole geometry and a 130º point enables efficient chip evacuation resulting in a smooth surface finish on the part. All FXC drills are pvd coated with ZircoPlus for a longer tool life.
The drills are made-to-order with a 5-7 day lead time and are available in sizes ranging from 5xD to 16xD.
