New Tornado Drill Line Designed for Stainless Steel; Up to 4x Faster than Previous Models
Star SU, Star Cutter Company's marketing, sales and service affiliate, has introduced the Tornado line of expert internal coolant drills from Louis Bélet, designed specifically for stainless steels. The Tornado drill line is suited for application in all fields where stainless steel is used, such as medical, aerospace, automotive, etc.
Machining of stainless grades, such as martensitic and austenitic, is often slow and prone to errors. The Tornado (REF .376-10) achieves depths of up to 10xd and at rates that are 3x -- 4x faster than previous drills. It also eliminates the need for pecking, resulting in smoother, more productive operations.
Additionally, there is a Tornado REF .336H designed to produce a pilot hole for the REF .376H-10, eliminating the need to use a centering or deburring device. It can be used with or without a chamfer.
The Tornado drills are designed with a compression chamber that minimizes coolant pressure loss, improving efficiency and accuracy with the drills able to hold concentricity of <0.003mm at the drill tip. Additionally, an increased surface area of the lube holes and their specific shape enable these drills to achieve 3x the throughput compared to previous generations.
Star SU is the exclusive representative of Louis Bélet SA (Switzerland) precision cutting tools in North America.
