Sutton carbide tip-tool drills and indexable carbide insert drills deliver extremely high feed rates and extended tool life compared with HSS drills in high-production CNC machining environments.

Where this product is used

Used in CNC machining centres and turning centres for high-efficiency hole-making in steel, cast iron, and other materials where HSS productivity is insufficient.

• High-feed drilling in steel and cast iron on CNC machining centres where cycle time reduction through increased cut depth per revolution (DR) is critical.
• Precision boring and hole quality in production environments using insert-based drills that can be re-indexed without resharpening.
• Multi-material drilling in flexible manufacturing cells where a single toolholder can be rapidly re-indexed for different material grades.

Selecting the right option

Confirm the drill body size, insert geometry, and coating match the workpiece material — carbide grades and coatings vary significantly between steel, cast iron, stainless, and aluminium applications. Use rigid machine tool setups; carbide drills are brittle and chip under vibration.
