One drill body: multiple applications

One drill body: multiple applicationsThe Seco X Tip Drill simplifies holemaking with one modular drill body and multiple, exchangeable carbide tips that perform across steels, stainless steels, cast iron, and more, reducing tool inventory, increasing productivity, and delivering consistent, high quality results.

Designed for mixed production environments, the Seco X Tip Drill adapts easily to changing materials and drilling depths. With one drill body covering 3xD, 5xD, and 8xD applications, manufacturers can streamline workflows, lower the risk of errors, and reduce setup time without compromising performance.

Fast tip changes are enabled by the patented pre tensioned interface. A double sided key supplied with each drill body allows quick, secure tip replacement, while the axial lock ensures accuracy and repeatability even after multiple changes.

Application specific geometries ensure predictable performance across demanding materials. ISO P and M tips provide reliable drilling in steels and stainless steels, ISO K geometry delivers stable cutting in abrasive cast iron, and the Flat Bottom geometry produces flat bottom holes in a single operation—eliminating secondary machining steps. All geometries are compatible with the same X Tip drill body.

“The Seco X Tip Drill gives manufacturers a smarter way to manage complexity,” says Ricky Payling, Global Product Manager for Solid Round Tools, Drilling at Seco. “One drill body, multiple applications, less waste, and consistent performance. It’s designed for flexibility on today’s shop floor.”

High feed capability, optimized chip evacuation, and self centering geometry deliver fast cycle times, excellent hole quality, and low cost per hole. The reusable drill body and replaceable, recyclable carbide tips also support more sustainable manufacturing.
