Enhanced Drilling Technology



"With the Seco Feedmax -P drill, manufacturers gain the potential to boost hole making performance for ISO P (steel) and cast-iron workpiece materials. The solid carbide Feedmax -P drills can increase drilling productivity by up to 35% while also providing longer tool life due to the combination of the drill's geometry and advanced coating," said a company spokesperson.

The Feedmax -P's geometry and dark-colored TiAlN coating is designed to enhance chip management and deliver high application security, allowing shops to generate more holes faster and with less required drills. In addition to strong straight cutting edges, the drill's coolant holes are in close proximity to the cutting edges for more efficient cooling, and its narrow land margins minimize the heat exposed to the drill. An enhanced flute design protects drill point corners and maximizes the control and evacuation of chips.

"With its new coating, the Feedmax -P lets shops run machine tools to their full drilling potentials. Together with the drill's strong point geometry, cutting speeds of 623 ft./min are possible in SMG P5 without sacrificing tool life," said the spokesperson.

Seco offers the Feedmax -P in diameters ranging from .078" to .787" (2 mm to 20 mm) and in length-to-diameter ratios of 3xD, 5xD and 7xD. All drills come standard with through-the-tool coolant channels to provide maximum performance. Custom versions such as intermediate sizes and chamfer and step drills are available upon request.
