MEGA-Speed-Drill-Titan The double-edged solid carbide drill is specially designed for high-speed titanium machining and is the first choice for series production. The low build-up edge formation is achieved by a highly polished coating, which creates a low-friction surface and thus enables longer service life. With four guide chamfers for optimal roundness and a convex cutting edge for greater stability, the drill guarantees smooth and reliable machining.

(5xD) Range: 3,00 - 16,00 Intermediate sizes also available as standard.
