Waukesha, Wisconsin – The addition of the Walter Capto clamping system and indexable inserts with Tiger•tec Silver cutting tool material enhance the Xtra•tec Insert Drills family.
Xtra•tec Insert Drills range in diameter from 16mm to 45mm, with a depth of cut of 3xD, and feature optimized chip clearance. They can be used on materials ranging from steel and cast iron to stainless and difficult-to-cut materials. They can handle chain drilling, sloping, and convex surfaces.
The Walter Capto™ clamping system provides higher transmission of force via the system’s polygonal interface, reliability due to the positive locking of the indexable inserts with TorxPlus screws, and faster tool changing. Its nickel-plated surface protects against corrosion and wear, and its cylindrical collar promotes straightforward measurement of the tool diameter.
The Tiger•tec Silver cutting tool material also helps improve the performance of the new drill. The indexable inserts are available in three geometries and four grades and have four cutting edges. The ground indexable inserts are also fitted with a wiper edge, improving finish.
