One area of application to which WTX Feed drills are said to be well suited is difficult spot-drilling situations, such as inclined surfaces. Here WNT says that the trio of aggressively shaped, self-centered, cross cutting edges ensure precise positioning from first contact with the workpiece.
The 3-flute design ensures that only a minimum of burring occurs as the drill exits the workpiece, too. What’s more, the geometry reduces the cutting pressure and cutting temperature, leading to less wear and maximising process security, says WNT.
A further innovation is the point thinning detail, which makes the centre of the point extremely stable, while its variable approach angle creates a smooth transition into the flute.
