Drilling tools

The foremost thought in our engineers mind when visiting a customer is about the security and consistency of their operation and how they can get the most out of the machines they have on the shop floor.

In drilling applications, we consider materials, geometries, penetration rates, tool life and process security to reduce scrap as well as a myriad of other variables before recommending them the right product from our drilling tool range.

Security of the process is key

When looking at a new drilling process we assess insert wear, tip wear, edge wear and the life of the tool. We look for the happy medium between the cost of the tool and the value of the material being machined.
