Indexable insert drills make large holes
The AMEC Revolution Drill and AMEC Core Drill are adjustable indexable carbide drills, for machining large diameter holes with excellent productivity at a competitive cost per hole.
Selector simplifies drills selection
To assist users in the selection of high performance drills, Allied Maxcut has designed a product selector that covers 90% of drilling applications and can be easily used in any desktop or laptop PC.
The AMEC Revolution drill and AMEC Core Drill are adjustable indexable carbide drills, which produce high quality large diameter holes at a competitive cost/hole.
AMEC Revolution Drills drill from solid with no pilot hole by using an 'over-centre' cutting geometry for the indexable carbide inserts.
A single adjustable cartridge allows the diameter to be adjusted by up to 5.1mm, giving a hole size range of 50.80-76.20mm.

Part-off and groove in the 'dry'
Advanced Carbide Tooling has introduced Futura-coated carbide inserts for its 2.2 parting-off and grooving system, allowing dry machining as well as higher cutting speeds.
Largest range of parting-off and grooving tools
A claim that its Mircona parting-off and grooving tools is the largest single range currently available from any manufacturer is being made by the UK supplier Advanced Carbide Tooling
* Core Drill - the AMEC Core Drill is used to quickly and accurately open out an existing pre-drilled pilot hole to a larger diameter in a single pass.
Two or three adjustable cartridges each hold either two or thee indexable carbide inserts.
The cartridges give the Core Drill has a wide scope of adjustment, as follows.
* From 50.80mm to 63.50mm on the smallest drill in the range.
* From 104.65mm to 142.75mm on the largest.
* Larger diameter specials are also available from AMEC.
A key advantage of the Core Drill is that it enables large diameter holes to be produced on machines with lower power ratings.
This advantage can simplify production planning and give greater flexibility in terms of the plant used for specific drilling and manufacturing operations.
Also, the drill's high rigidity makes it perfectly suited to rough boring operations, said AMEC to manufacturingtalk.com, where high material removal rates are required.
When used to drill cores, the drill's design enables it to tolerate core shifts of up to 3.175mm.
* Minimising drill chip size - as both drills use multiple indexable inserts, chip size can be kept to a minimum for easy evacuation from the bore.
AMEC said that this feature enables maximum drill depths of 298mm and 292mm to be achieved with the Revolution Drill and Core Drill respectively.
The cartridge assemblies on both drills can be easily be replaced when worn or damaged without having to buy a complete new tool holder, said AMEC.
Allied Maxcut's managing director, Rod Crawford, said: "These new drills are important additions to our catalogue and not only open up new opportunities for us in a number of areas, but also provide some significant advantages and benefits to manufacturers and sub-contracting customers across Europe.
The fact that both drills are adjustable, means that they provide a huge amount of versatility, in terms of the diameters that can be produced with a reduced product inventory".
He added: "Also, as the Core Drill range can produce large diameter holes with reduced power requirements, this means that they can be used on a wider variety of machine tools giving greater production flexibility.".
