Utilising new optimised chip flute geometry and a newly developed coating, this combination with the modified cutting edge preparation can deliver tool life improvements of 50%. In addition, the new series can increase cutting speeds and feed rates by more than 15%, compared with its predecessor. The result is a lower cost per part and greater cost-effectiveness for the user.
Available in a diameter range from 3 to 25 mm, drills from 3 to 12 mm are offered in 0.1 mm increments while larger diameters are provided in a variety of diameter increments. Offered in HA and HE shank forms, the MEGA-Drill-Steel-Plus has through-coolant facility to improve swarf evacuation and prevent re-cutting of chips.
The drilling line is available with 3xD, 5xD and 8xD options. Depending upon the chosen drill diameter, the 3xD series is available with an overall length from 62 to 153 mm with a drill flute length from 20 to 96 mm, while the 5xD drill provides an overall length of from 66 to 153 mm and a flute length of from 22to 101 mm.
The extended 8xD series has an overall length of from 72 to 243 mm with a flute length of from 34 to 190 mm.
