Mapal employs innovative unequal cutting pitch and guide chamfers to make low friction Mega-Speed Drill

Mapal's Mega-Speed Drill for wet and dry machining of steel and cast iron features an innovative cutting edge geometry and a special AlTiN coating. An unequal cutting pitch and three guide chamfers virtually eliminate vibration and also greatly reduce friction, claims Mapal. In addition, the drills have highly polished flutes for optimal chip flow.

Mapal's Mega-Speed Drills, which can achieve a bore tolerance of IT10, are offered in standard versions with diameters from 3 to 20 mm for drilling depths of 3XD, 5XD and 8XD. All standard versions are configured for internal coolant supply. In addition to the standard versions, Mapal is also able to apply the technologies used in Mega-Speed Drills to custom tools that are developed to meet special customer requirements not covered by the company's standard product range.
