Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Jan 22, 2007

Deep hole solid carbide drills for machining in steels and irons produce holes up to 30x drill diameter at penetration rates of up to 100% faster compared with gun or HSS drills.

The new Kennametal B27-Z-HPG increases penetration rates by 100% over gun and HSS drills in steel and iron applications up to 30x diameter deep.

The KC7425 grade, based on a sub-micron grade substrate, provides the durability and toughness required for deep hole applications in crankshafts, connecting rods and cylinder heads and blocks found in the automotive industry.

The drill features state of the art surface treatment and a specially designed flute profile that increases chip flow and reduces friction that could lead to chip jamming and catastrophic failure.

The four margin design guarantees drill stability in applications with cross-holes and irregular or angled exits.

The wear resistant coating and unique design makes the B27-HPG suitable for wet and minimum quantity lubricant applications.

The new B27-HPG in KC7425 is available as a standard product from 3.0 to 10.0mm in 15x and 20x diameter.

Custom solution drills are available in lengths greater than 20x diameter up to 30x diameter.
