Sandvik: Drilling steel just got faster and more efficient

Global leader in metal cutting, Sandvik Coromant has launched an upgraded CoroDrill 860 assortment to offer customers improved productivity in drilling steel. The advanced -PM geometry offers high-performance drilling in ISO P steels while significantly improving tool life.

The drill is perfectly suited to applications in the automotive, general engineering, die and mould and power generation industries.

CoroDrill 860 with -PM geometry is available in standard stocked diameters from 3mm (0.12 inch) to 16mm (0.63 inch). Tailor made tools are also available to customize the drill to match specific users’ machining requirements.
