Sutton Tools new carbide drill range means shorter processing time and longer tool life

carbide drills

Twist drills made of solid carbide are the logical consequence from the demands of industry for tools with higher performance and/or better wear resistance. For this reason, the deployment of these tools on NC machining centres is gaining in significance.

“The advantages of carbide drills compared to HSS drills lie in the shorter processing times and longer tool life,” Mr Robert Sutton, Sutton Tools Marketing Manager explained.

This becomes particularly clear in the case of processing strongly abrasive workpiece materials such as cast iron, aluminum alloys with a high proportion of silicon, plastics with filler, graphite and glass-fibre reinforced materials. The same applies to all types of steel that are difficult to cut.

For the most part, the dimensions have been adopted from HSS twist drills. This means that similar variants are possible with regard to the shape and cutter geometry. The boundaries are set by the endurance of the tool material, especially with regard to the diameter-length ratio.

The GARANT high-performance drill is a newly developed carbide tool for drilling into solids. As standard, it is offered for bore hole diameters of 3 to 20 mm and is equally suitable for drilling long-chipping and short-chipping ferrous materials.

The GARANT’s superiority becomes particularly clear when soft and strong types of steel that create problems during cutting are involved.

At 10,500rpms and a feed rate of 800mm per minute a high quality surface finish and straight accurate holes without the need for pecking on a hole depth of 8xd can be achieved.

Sutton Tools carbide drill range is stocked in Melbourne allowing for overnight delivery of products to be achieved.
