U Drills
Central and peripheral inserts run in different grades, because the two positions do not see the same cutting speed. Bodies are balanced for use on turning centres and machining centres alike, and take through-coolant as standard.
- Steel
- Stainless steel
- Cast iron
- Superalloys & titanium
Why this range
- Ø12 – 63 mm in 2×D to 5×D lengths
- Separate grades for centre and periphery
- Also used for boring, turning and chamfering
