The solid carbide micro drills in the Walter Titex X·treme DM range for 2 to 2.95 mm diameter range are now available for drilling depths of up to 30xD.
Walter has expanded its high performance line of Titex X·treme DM micro drills with the addition of products in the 16xD and 30xD drilling depth ranges. In addition, diameters of 2 to 2.95 mm are now available for all drilling depths in these product ranges. Formerly the 2 mm diameter was available only in sizes smaller than 25xD.
"Whether automotive, aerospace, die and mold, or general metalworking, industries increasingly require a multitude of drilled holes with diameters smaller than 3 mm. Sometimes drilling depths of up to and over 30xD are required," said a company spokesperson. Typical applications include drilled holes for lubrication, cooling, venting and nozzle bores.
"The new Walter micro drills have internal cooling, just like the larger members of the X·treme family. Furthermore, their optimized point geometry with special cutting edge preparation and precisely dimensioned flute geometry help ensure superior chip formation and, therefore, high process reliability. The polished surface of the flutes is designed to support excellent chip evacuation," said a company spokesperson.
The X·treme DM micro drills have a wide field of application, including the P, K, M and N ISO material groups. "Importantly, the new DM micro drills allow the drilling process to take place without pecking. Pecking would cause additional load change and make the process unsafe," said the spokesperson.
Walter offers a line up of cutting tools for milling, drilling, turning, boring and specialized tooling for unique applications through its competence brands Walter Valenite, Walter Titex and Walter Prototyp.
