Carbide Drills
Point geometry and web thinning are set per depth class, so a 12×D drill enters as cleanly as a 3×D. Coolant channels are formed during extrusion rather than drilled afterwards, which keeps the wall section uniform along the whole flute.

- Stainless steel
- Cast iron
- Non-ferrous
- Superalloys & titanium

Why this range
- 3×D to 30×D within one dimensional system
- Self-centring point — no spot drilling required
- IT8 hole tolerance straight from the drill
