The solution for drilling depths of up to 10xD by indexable insert

Main features
• 5 ~ 10xD deep hole drilling is possible
• Patented centre pilot insert creates greater stability
• Good chip breaker design to make cutting chip smaller
• Optimised cutting chip groove improves chip flow
• Lateral cutting force can be absorbed by the centre pilot insert and the specially designed insert pocket.

Patented centre pilot insert
• Fully ground pilot insert with multi-cutting edges to form smaller cutting chips
• The unique design of the pocket provides the best seating accuracy and rigidity of the centre insert
• The centre inserts guide the drills to the drilling depth of up to 10xD (standard) and 12D (optional).

Periphery insert
• 4 x cutting edges
• Good chip breaking condition
• Cutting edge is lapped round for long tool life
• Dia. 19-26 mm: one periphery insert is required
• Dia. 27-40 mm: two periphery inserts are required.

Design of the chip area of the drills
Large cutting chip area which provides enough room for the optimised cutting chips flow
• Minimum cutting fluid pressure in only 10 bar, making it suitable for old and new machine tools
• The drilling length is designed from 5xD up to 10xD as standard: the optimum length is selected according to the drilling depth and the required feed rate. The shorter the drilling depth, the higher the feed rate that can be applied.
