TaeguTec UK Ltd has introduced an extensive new range of multi-purpose solid carbide drills that deliver greater versatility and stable machining performance across a wide spectrum of materials. Suitable for high-performance drilling of everything from low and high alloy steel to stainless, cast iron, aluminium and high temperature alloys, as well as hardened steel, the new range offers manufacturers a comprehensive solution for precision hole-making operations.
The new drill line spans from 3 to 12mm diameters and is presented in 0.1mm increments, providing unprecedented flexibility for manufacturers. Available in two drilling depths, the 3xD S type and the 5XD R type, the range enables manufacturers to select the optimal tool geometry for their specific machining requirements, from shallow drilling operations to deeper hole applications.
A key differentiator of the new range is the availability of both external coolant (TED) and internal coolant (TEO) variants. This dual approach ensures that manufacturers can optimise their coolant delivery strategy based on workpiece material, drilling depth and production environment, ultimately contributing to extended tool life and improved hole quality.
At the heart of the drill design is a precision-engineered 2-flute straight cutting edge geometry that delivers ideal drilling characteristics. This design promotes efficient chip evacuation whilst maximising cutting-edge strength, resulting in stable machining performance even in challenging materials. The optimised geometry enhances hole precision and finishes whilst maximising tool life, making these drills particularly well-suited to high-volume mass production environments where consistency and repeatability are paramount.
The entire range is manufactured in TaeguTec's exceptionally tough TT5130 grade, a carbide substrate specifically formulated to deliver excellent tool life across various workpiece materials. This grade selection delivers a truly multipurpose drilling solution that reduces tool inventory and associated costs.
For manufacturers seeking to optimise their hole-making operations, the new TaeguTec multi-purpose solid carbide drill range offers compelling advantages. The diversity of the range is exemplified by its ability to work at high speeds and feeds on a diverse range of materials as well as the geometries and sizes of the new range. Offered with a flute length from 18-75mm with an overall length from 62-118mm depending upon the diameter selected, the new solid carbide drills are a flexible, high-performance solution for any machine shop environment.
