DYMAXION TCT Spear Head Tile Drill
Tungsten Carbide Glass and Tile Drill.
These drills are designed for drilling glass, tile and other hard, brittle materials.
The tungsten carbide spear point is extremely hard and features uniquely sharpened edges for fast penetration with a reduced need for end thrust.
These drill bits cut clean round holes without chipping or material breakage, and work best with a lubricant such as water to extend bit life.
Tungsten Carbide (commonly referred to as Carbide) is a chemical compound containing equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms.
Carbide is three times stiffer than steel and is much denser than either steel or titanium.
Carbide has a very high abrasion resistance and can also withstand higher temperatures than standard HSS.
Carbide tools are often used for machining hard materials such as ceramics and stainless steel, as well as in situations where other tools would wear away, such as high volume production runs.
Because carbide tools maintain a sharp cutting edge better than other tools, they generally produce a better finish on parts, and their temperature resistance allows faster machining.
Whilst tungsten carbide is extremely hard it is also brittle so it is important to avoid bit “chattering” as this is the most common cause of tool failure.
These Rotary Only ceramic tile drills provide outstanding performance and extended tool life in hard ceramic materials.
Unique cutting edge geometry in conjunction with high temperature brazing to ensure reliable and accurate drilling in multiple hole applications.
Use of water cooling will extend bit life.
Although these drill bits are not recommended for drilling vitrified porcelain, their superior multi-facet tungsten carbide tip enables them to drill most materials of this type, albeit with a reduced tool life.
These ceramic tile drills can also be used to successfully drill in brick, concrete and other masonry materials.
Sutton Tools presents a breakthrough in twist drill technology, the revolutionary Viper Bit.
Drill Bits with bite!
The Viper Bit has been developed specifically for the industrial trades person and the home handy person. For machine and hand held drilling in a wide range of ferrous & non-ferrous materials such as steel, aluminium, brass, wood & plastics. The Viper point design out-performs conventional HSS drill bits by delivering up to 2X faster drilling speeds. The 118° split point is self-centering, minimising wandering when starting and requires less pressure to be applied when drilling.
