  • Accurate, consistent hole sizes with advanced drill point technology eliminates centering and reaming.

  • For tough, ductile materials and stainless steel
  • Features a light, sharp cutting edge and soft cutting action
  • Minimizes cutting forces and reduces built-up edge
  • Allows maximum coolant flow and unrestricted chip removal during the drilling cycle thanks to its highly wear-resistant steel alloy.

Advantages of Modular Drills (HMD) vs. Solid Drills
Modular Drills:
  • Longer tool life and predictable holemaking production
  • Each holder can use a number of modular inserts, reducing the amount of drill inventory needed to cover multiple hole sizes.
  • Set up time is reduced because only the inserts are being replaced, not the entire tool
