Straight‑flute drills are designed for stable, clean drilling in plastics, non‑ferrous metals, thin‑walled parts, and laminated materials. Built from solid carbide and ground on Swiss and German multi‑axis equipment, these tools produce mirror‑like edges, tight runout, and predictable results in delicate or grab‑prone workpieces.
This design uses linear flutes that limit the screw‑in effect and reduce edge grabbing in soft or thin materials. It supports controlled entry, rounder holes, and lower burr formation.
For deeper holes in tough alloys, a helical flute is typically more effective.
Solid‑carbide substrates are finished on TTB Micro Grinding Centers, WALTER HELITRONIC, DECKEL, and ANCA platforms to achieve precise geometry and edge quality. The result is sharp cutting edges and form stability across production lots.
High‑accuracy multi‑axis grinding ensures consistent point forms and edge prep. This improves entry, limits burring, and supports repeatable performance.
Dimensions, runout, and point angles are verified with ZOLLER presetting and tool‑test systems (e.g., PARLEC PG1000/MRPG1000, EOUER). Tight tolerances help maintain hole quality and process stability.
ISO 9001 (2023–2026) and SGS certifications support process control and traceability.
Use these drills for plastics (ABS, PC, POM), non‑ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass), composites, MDF/plywood, and other thin sections where a gentle cut reduces pull‑in and delamination.
Linear flutes limit self‑feeding, helping avoid stress cracks and melting. They enable precise holes in engineering plastics and fiber‑reinforced laminates with controlled entry and exit.
The geometry supports stable cutting in brass, copper, and aluminum. It helps reduce chatter and ovality in thin sections and short‑depth holes.
Clean entry in MDF, plywood, and laminates with less tear‑out or veneer lift. Brad‑point tips are available when positional accuracy is critical.
Tools can be tailored to your material, machine, and workholding. Point angle, diameter, overall length, and relief can be matched to the application.
Solutions are optimized for CNC machining centers, manual drill presses, and precision collet‑chuck systems to minimize runout and extend tool life.
Choose the right combination of size, geometry, and finish to fit your process window.
Available from micro sizes to larger diameters in standard and extended lengths for shallow to moderate depths.
Select 90°, 118°, or 135° points based on material and entry needs; brad‑point styles support woodworking.
Premium tungsten carbide provides stiffness and edge retention. DLC and TiAlN reduce friction and wear to improve finish and tool life.
Controlled runout and diameter tolerances support round holes and consistent fit, verified by comprehensive metrology.
Straight flutes favor short hole depths. Use peck cycles or air blast to clear chips and control edge temperature.
Rigid fixturing and high‑precision collets reduce runout and chatter. This improves roundness and surface finish.
Straight flutes excel at controlled entry with minimal grabbing. Helical flutes typically evacuate chips better in deep holes and tough metals, while brad‑point styles prioritize clean entry in wood.
