Two Flute Drill

Description:
Melcut Drills are custom built to suit specific applications and offer many features not found in a standard 'off-the-shelf' mass produced two-flute drill. Many companies manufacture standard drills and wherever practical a standard tool should be considered. There are however, several operations when a custom built two-flute drill will be more cost effective.

Applications:
Custom built two-flute drills are more practical when conditions exist that require features not available on standard drills. For example: longer lengths, intermediate diameters, special shank features, special materials or coatings. Perhaps among the most outstanding optional features to be considered are: various spiral angles such as, straight, slow, or fast, to suit right or left hand cutting. Special point styles and grind features can be incorporated. In addition controlled web thickness and tapers can be specified in order to avoid unnecessary and irregular web thinning when it comes time to re- sharpen the tool. When drill bushings are used, subject to material being cut, 'Double or Triple Margins' can be supplied at no extra cost. The additional margins can afford maximum support and guidance to permit more accurate size and hole location control.
