Exact GmbH & Co. KG has launched a new step drill with a quadruple spiral flute. According to the manufacturer, the latest precision tool of the “AdvancedLine®” series is characterized by more performance, higher productivity, significantly reduced time as well as lower costs.
reduced time as well as lower costs.
The highlight of the new step drill is the force distribution from two to four cutting edges. This further development not only ensures significantly improved drilling behavior, but also reduced lateral forces with extremely smooth running at the same time. According to the company, the innovative geometry sustainably increases the performance potential of the step drill and enables up to 30 percent faster drilling as well as up to 50 percent longer tool life due to significantly lower wear.
The additional pre-cutters and post-cutters are also advantageous, as they increase the cutting forces per cutting edge, increase tool life and reduce the so-called “chatter” of the drill.
The specially developed “turbo tip” offers greatly simplified centering and spot-drilling behavior. This prevents the drill from slipping on the material – “center punching” is no longer necessary. As an option, the manufacturer also offers its latest innovation with the patented “Rotastop®” shank, which, due to its shape, prevents the drill bit from spinning in the drill chuck and ensures optimum torque transmission.
The step drill is available in versions of 4-12 / 4-20 and 6-30 mm as individual items as well as sets. To exploit the full performance potential, it is recommended to combine it with the specially matched high-performance coatings, depending on the machining process. In addition to the innovative packaging design, the other features and components of the product line include additional product information and access via QR codes to application videos.
At the market launch, three-part step drill bit sets are being offered at preferential prices for specialist dealers as part of the “Test the best” sales promotion offered.
