OSG Tap and Die Inc. has released two performance drills designed for many materials. The HY-PRO CARB 3D and 5D drills are a compromise between performance and cost-efficiency. The drills have point and flute geometry that are designed to reduce thrust forces and chip size, thereby enabling higher feeds and metal removal rates. The multi-layered TiAlN coating is designed to resist thermo-cracking from heat, thus improving wear resistance compared with conventional coatings. Lastly, the common DIN shank sizes not only improve rigidity, but also reduce the number of toolholders needed to accommodate them, according to the company.
