The newly designed WDX range of indexable insert drills has excellent cutting balance to provide dependable drilling results on a wide range of materials from general steels to stainless steels. The unique placement of the inserts in the drill body equalises cutting resistance between the central and peripheral inserts to optimise cutting performance and create cutting edge stability at the entry and exit points of the hole during the drilling cycle. This balance creates rigidity and improves hole finish and shape including straightness, parallelism, surface finish, hole tolerance and size holding. Primarily a tool to rapidly and economically make holes, the drill utilises interchangeable four cornered inserts in newly developed long life grades ACP300 / ACK300. In addition the hard surface treated body can be used for hole widening, spot facing, external turning and internal boring
