Allied Machine highlights 4TEX indexable carbide insert drill
Published:
Engineered to excel in high-temperature alloys and stainless steels
Allied Machine and Engineering, a global manufacturer of holemaking and finishing tools, spotlights their 4TEX indexable carbide insert drilling system, engineered to create optimal chip formation for efficient evacuation in holemaking processes. The 4TEX IC drill outperforms other standard drills by delivering higher penetration rates on light-duty machines and excels in drilling quality holes in interrupted cuts, sloped work surfaces, or angled breakouts. It is also suited for drilling applications in high-temperature alloys and stainless steels. The indexable insert drill is ideal for making shallow 2xD, 3xD and 4xD holes within the diameter range of 12.00 mm – 47.00 mm (0.472 inches – 1.850 inches).
4TEX’s unique design increases core strength, resulting in improved hole size and straightness. The flute space of the internal cutting edge side, where chips often cluster, is 1.6 times larger than typical IC drills in the market. The additional space coupled with dual-twisted coolant outlets improve penetration rates by enhancing coolant flow and generating superior chip evacuation.
The 4TEX insert geometries are optimized for wear resistance and are available in various geometry and coating combinations for all ISO materials including iron, steel, nonferrous, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys. The distinctive insert shape improves surface finish, hole quality and penetration rates, while eliminating issues from chips winding around the tool. The drills are stocked in every ½ millimeter diameter up to 26 millimeters and every 1 millimeter up to 47 millimeters assuring fast delivery.
Allied Machine differentiates itself from other cutting tool manufacturers by focusing solely on the art of holemaking and finishing. For more information on 4TEX or other tooling solutions, visit www.alliedmachine.com
