BIG Kaiser Precision Tooling, Inc., introduces the newest addition to its high-performance Sphinx Quadro Plus drill line. With its specially-designed point geometry, Quadro 15 PLUS is ideal for cutting steel, cast iron, and other non-ferrous materials.
The sophisticated engineering behind the Quadro 15 PLUS makes it ultra-rigid, requiring less cutting force and increasing feeds and speeds. Quadro 15 PLUS can drill up to 50 percent faster and can hold close tolerances, achieving a hole quality of H7 or better. Quadro 15 PLUS maximizes productivity by eliminating the need for subsequent finish operations, delivering a quality surface finish of Ra 0.8 µ (32rms). Balzer’s Futura Nano Top TiAIN Coating optimizes chip evacuation, increases wear resistance, and results in longer tool life.
These carbide drills are made from ultra fine-grain carbide and are available in diameters from 4mm (.157") to 20mm (.787") in standard length of six-times diameter with coolant through. Based on the highly successful Quadro Plus drill geometry of Sphinx, the new 15-degree helix angle makes them suitable for drilling long chipping materials such as steel as well as cast iron.
Based in Biberist, Switzerland, Sphinx received the original Swiss patent for a twist drill in 1897. Sphinx produces approximately 1,200 standard drills and as many as 1,200,000 different drills, including their custom lines.
