TITEX has added a solid carbide, externally-cooled, high-performance miniature drill to its line: the ALPHA 2 PLUS Micro.
This latest externally-cooled miniature drill is characterized by an optimized flute and tip geometry. This allows for reliable drilling using high cutting data. According to the company, the tools also have a "TINAL MICRO LINE" coating that has been optimized for miniature drills and that provides ideal wear protection with very good chip removal.
Smaller diameters are achieved by eliminating the cooling channels. The new range offers more than 80 dimensions and is available from 0.5mm to 2.9mm in diameter. The tools are available in two designs for drilling depths up to 5X and 8X diameter. Due to the optimized geometry, drilling depths of 8X diameter can be achieved in various materials — despite the external cooling — and without pecking.
All tools have a standard shank in accordance with DIN 6535 form HA and a diameter of 3mm. The generously designed overall lengths permit sufficient space between the workpiece and the toolholder, so that chips can be safely removed.
ALPHA 2 PLUS Micro can be be used universally in steel, cast iron materials, aluminum and copper alloys.
