Exact has added another tool group to its premium Advancedline product line. As of now, twist drills with step technology are also available under the brand. Due to their specific properties, the Exact twist drills are significantly faster and more precise than conventional HSS standard drills and can be used for all common materials such as steel, cast iron, aluminum, plastic and wood.
As with all precision tools in the premium Advancedline product line, optimization potential was also sought for the twist drills in order to improve the
to sustainably improve performance features for the user. The results of this development work can now be seen in several areas of the tool, including the newly developed drill tip. A new and special feature here is the 118° acute angle, which ensures an impressive, self-centering effect and minimal effort. For the daily work routine this means: No more center punching is necessary and precise spot drilling is possible without “running” on the materials to be processed. Even angled bores can now be implemented without any problems. Unlike many standard HSS drills, there is also no torn-out hole, but a precise and round shape with sharp boundaries in the material.
3-SURFACE SHAFT PREVENTS SLIPPING IN THE SHAFT
The 3-face shank of the new Advancedline twist drill with Step technology also significantly reduces the amount of force required, prevents spinning
in the drill chuck and ensures optimum power transmission. Use is thus possible quickly and precisely at any time. Due to its low power consumption, the new twist drill also proves to be very battery-friendly. To sustainably improve drilling results, the new Advancedline twist drills with Step technology feature so-called TIN-TIP multilayer coatings throughout. These provide greater surface hardness and improved thermal stability, which in turn results in significantly increased tool life and a reduction in built-up edges.
has. Numerous functional tests by Exact show that the coating enables up to 30 percent longer usage times. Customers can choose depending on
requirement to choose between the coating variants HSS TIN (universal use) and HSS TIALN (VA materials).
TOOL WITH CONVINCING CAPABILITIES
For Exact Managing Director Andreas Oemkes, the new Advancedline product group once again demonstrates the development expertise and innovative strength of the Remscheid-based company: “We have developed and launched a twist drill with truly convincing capabilities. The new step tip technology revolutionizes the entire drilling process and expands the range of applications for twist drills to a previously unknown level. No matter what materials a user uses our drills for, he always gets a perfect drilling result.”
ALREADY THREE PRODUCT GROUPS IN THE ADVANCEDLINE
The premium products of the Advancedline by Exact brand have been around since 2017. To date, it includes three groups of tools. In addition to the new twist drill segment, this also includes taper countersinks and step drills. The idea of Advancedline was and still is to use existing, successful
tool concepts and to further optimize them. The following criteria apply as the goal: more performance, higher productivity, less time required and reduced costs. The basis for this is again the expertise built up in-house over many years, the close coordination with customers, and the existing innovative manufacturing capabilities.
