Kennametal’s most Robust, Versatile & Economic Indexable Drilling Platform

By Bhalchandra Chorghade, Editor, CNCTimes.com

Kennametal’s Drill Fix PRO indexable drilling platform comes standard with a wiper included in every outboard insert. The platform’s versatility is also elevated with four cutting edges on its inboard and outboard inserts, resulting in an extended application range that makes Drill Fix PRO incredibly cost effective. It also features larger coolant channels for higher-volume coolant flow. This innovative design element brings customers not only a strong, quiet drilling experience but also a longer tool life.

Cost-Effective & Versatile Indexable Drilling: Drill Fix PRO offers an economic drilling platform that covers a broad spectrum of materials and applications.

Robust Toolholder Design: Extreme rigidity resulting in less deviations, vibrations and noise.

Wiper Geometry on All Outboard Inserts: Creating superior surface finish and hole quality.

Optimized Coolant Delivery System: Large twin coolant channels provide enhanced coolant flow, resulting in superior chip evacuation and increased tool life.

The Drill Fix PRO platform is complemented by our two new stainless steel and high-temperature alloy indexable drilling insert grades KCMS35 and KCMS40.

While KCMS40 has a tougher substrate ideal for inboard inserts and KCMS35’s substrate is more wear resistant and works best at high velocities and metal removal rates for outboard inserts, both utilize a smooth coating surface, optimum layer adhesion and high depth-of-cut notching resistance to increase reliability and significantly extend tool life. Testing showed the new grades can double the length of a tool’s life versus competitor grades.
