A 3-flute drill with an optimized flute geometry and cutting-edge design for an excellent cutting balance

High-accuracy drilling Features a 3-flute design that achieves excellent cutting balance, as well as high-accuracy drilling capable of a reamerless process High-feed drilling Enables stable high-feed drilling by adopting a cutting-edge design that delivers both excellent cutting performance and strength, and by increasing the stiffness of the body through a small helix angle

AQUA EX coating with enhanced resistance to heat and wear

AQUA EX coating

• Features a special lubrication film and smoothing treatment for excellent chip evacuation
• Ensures high oxidation resistance (1,100°C) by adding a layer with high Al content
• Controls crack propagation with a multilayered structure. Optimizes compressive strength for increased film hardness (3,300HV).
  Increases resistance to wear.
