Vargus introduces Widia Top Cut 4 indexable drills

With four true cutting edges, the Top Cut 4 indexable drilling platform from Widia is targeted at end users that machine a broad assortment of products and need one drill for a variety of drilling applications and workpiece materials.

Available in the UK from Vargus Tooling, the cutter’s breadth of application capabilities include through- and cross-holes, inclined entries and exits, 45º corners, half-cylindrical tasks, concave applications, and chain drilling.

Top Cut 4 periphery and centre inserts each feature proprietary cutting profiles for good centring capability and workpiece penetration, says Widia. The inserts are clearly differentiated for no mix-ups, and are available in grades for high speed applications, high toughness demands and high metal removal rates.

Top Cut 4 features shanks in lengths of 2xD, 3xD, 4xD and 5xD, in both metric and inch configurations. Diameters extend from 12 to 68 mm, while eight insert sizes cover the complete range.
