Almost infinite flexibility in drill point geometry
– Significantly increased wear resistance over traditional coated carbide drills
– Tool life more than 10* times longer tungsten carbide drills
– Consistent performance over the tool life
– Greater cutting point flexibility
– PCD physically bonded to substrate, not brazed
– Superior work piece surface finish
– Large rake angles possible for lower tool forces
– Multiple re-sharpenings possible
– Fabrication by either Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) or conventional grinding
– Suitable for drilling CFRP stacked with aluminium and/or titanium
