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.
Bordo Ship Augers are single twist bits, easily recognised by their lack of a central core.
The ship head features a single cutter with a coarse screw.
Their open pattern allows for the efficient evacuation of shavings and makes them ideal for deep hole applications.
The absence of cutting spurs (or lips) makes them less susceptible to deviation due to grain and imperfections making them the preferred option for timber with a strong grain.
Hardened cutting edge for long life in hard timber, including nail-embedded wood.
Ideal for deep hole applications.
Fully-forged bit for maximum durability.
Resharpenable.
