Developed to significantly improve productivity, precision levels and positioning of drilled holes, the new centre drill system is perfect for preventing drills from drifting and maintaining a chamfer on the drilled hole.
Suitable for everything from one-offs to high-precision series production runs, the new Schwanog Centre Drilling system ensures consistently high surface finishes, tool life and performance.
Furthermore, the impressive new Schwanog Centre Drills provide a high repeatability of ±0.01mm for insert changeovers which is credited to an innovative insert pocket seat that securely locates and clamps the insert with astounding precision and stability. The tool body is available in a range of lengths and diameters to suit the end users' application requirements, providing flexibility to accommodate a host of machine tools and application types.
The ‘quick change’ design of the inserts results in less time spent changing inserts – giving you and your machine shop greater machine utilisation rates. Schwanog claims that when combined with the innovative tool geometry, the rapid-change system on this new drilling system guarantees a 40% increase in productivity.
The Schwanog Centre Drill designs range from a 60 to 140-degree point angle and depending on the material to be machined, a wide variety of carbide grades and coatings can be applied. This expansive selection of carbide grades and advanced coating technology ensures that the Schwanog Centre Drills are perfect for all application types on a wide variety of materials from aluminium, brass and copper through to steel, stainless and heat-resistant aerospace grade alloys such as Inconel and titanium.
To further enhance the flexibility of the Schwanog Centre Drill, customers can request interchangeable drill bodies to suit both left-hand and right-hand operations. By allowing end users to utilise the same toolholder for left and right-hand applications, the Schwanog Centre Drill system epitomises flexibility and enhances ease of use. Upon request, the impressive new Schwanog Centre Drill system can be ordered with edge preparation to reduce potential chatter that may occur with challenging material types.
