Advantages

Inserts have a place in the industry; turning or milling, but there is a better way of drilling!

What are the advantages of using our high performance brazed carbide lug hole drills, valve hole drills, rear valve hole drills, and tinnerman drills over indexable or solid carbide drills?

1/3 the cost per-drill over indexable or solid carbide
Most cost effective process of drilling = less than $.01 per hole
No restrictions on size or configuration of complex forms
Capable of drilling all grades of aluminum, even 6061 forged
Form is locked in on both flutes = 1/2 chip load
Ball seat radius held within +/- .0005 tolerance if needed
Conical seat held within 0°5' minute tolerance if needed
Better finishes while breaking all sharp edges
Burr control and burnished finish on work
A balanced drill for higher speeds and feed rates
One cycle pass, without pre-drilling work area
Improved chip evacuation for robotic applications
Small eyebrow chips which will not damage the finish on wheel
No small screws to mess with
No mixing up inserts when changing out tool
Easy loading into end mill or collect holder
Thru spindle coolant at a fraction of the cost
Unsurpassed tool life 55,000 to 75,000 cycles per run
Feed rates in excess of 100 IPM
Several resharpening to new condition at 1/3 the cost of new drill
Faster turnaround time for new or reconditioned drills
Less of a loss $$$ when you have a wreck or operator error
