Tungaloy Adds L/D=8 Bodies to Small Diameter Head Exchangeable Drill “AddMeisterDrill”

Supports Deep Hole Machining with Tool Diameters ø4.5 to ø5.9 mm

Iwaki, Japan, August, 2024 – Tungaloy Corporation (President: Satoshi Kinoshita, Headquarters: Iwaki, Fukushima) announces the addition of L/D=8 specification bodies to its small diameter head exchangeable drill “AddMeisterDrill” series.

Overview
“AddMeisterDrill” is a revolutionary head exchangeable drill that combines the cutting performance of solid carbide drills with the convenience of indexable drills. It supports small diameter hole machining with tool diameters ranging from ø4.0 to ø5.9 mm (0.1574” to 0.2323”). Two types of heads are available: the versatile “DMP Head” and the “DMC Head” for high-precision holes, catering to various drilling applications. The body features a special coolant hole design that ensures sufficient coolant discharge for excellent chip evacuation. Additionally, the dedicated clamping key and head are set together to prevent head loss and ensure ease of replacement.

This time, the series will be expanded with L/D=8 specification bodies that support tool diameters ranging from ø4.5 to ø5.9 mm (0.1772” to 0.2323”). The shank is a ø6 mm (0.2362”) cylindrical shape, compatible with spring collet chucks and hydraulic holders. Like the existing L/D=3 and L/D=5 bodies, the new body features a specially shaped coolant hole, ensuring adequate coolant discharge, which is crucial for deep hole machining.

With the addition of the L/D=8 specification bodies, economical head exchangeable tools can now be used in the typical machining range of solid drills, contributing to productivity improvements for a wider range of industries.
