Iwata Toglon range from Rainford drills up to 75 HRc

The Toglon drills can cut tool steels and aerospace materials such as Hardox 400 and 500, and Inconel X-750, says Rainford. Under test conditions, Rainford Precision has demonstrated the performance of the Toglon range by drilling a 2 mm diameter hole to a depth of 40 mm in 60 HRc steel. Clocking the tool to within a 2 micron concentricity, the Toglon drill ran at 4,000 rpm with a feed rate of 200 mm/min in a pecking cycle every 0.5 mm. The result was a concentric 2 mm diameter hole drilled to an H7 tolerance with a polished finish, says Rainford. The cycle time was less than 2 minutes per hole.
