Applications

This heavy-duty cutting tool is tailored for producing thread core holes in general mechanical engineering, contract manufacturing, and precise part production. It proves to be a reliable choice whenever drilling and countersinking operations need to be combined to reduce cycle times. Covering a diverse range of workpiece materials, the solid carbide step drill provides consistent performance when processing carbon steel, stainless steel alloys, and cast iron.

Special features

A well-balanced combination of resilient cutting material and a sturdy cylindrical shank grants the drill superior dimensional stability. The practical 3xD design establishes highly favorable conditions for smooth chip evacuation, even when tackling demanding core holes. Consequently, this construction minimizes interruptions and noticeably elevates process reliability in daily industrial applications.
