TPDC Plus Drill
Holders

Application
Diameters 10-63mm

High performance drilling from 10mm-30.9mm. Helical coolant for ultimate cooling & chip flow. High helix angle for reduced cutting load.

TPDC Plus Drill
Inserts

Application
Diameters 50-400mm

Dedicated inserts for Steel, Cast Iron & Stainless Steel. One step clamping system for excellent stability. Designed to prevent rotation.

Advantages

High Feed Rates

For the ultimate productivity in indexable drilling

Increased Stability

Unique clamping system provides stable drilling & reduced setting times

Reduced Cutting Load

High helix reduces cutting load and enhances chip flow

Excellent Cooling

Helical shaped coolant provides the best cooling & chip evacuation

Features

One Step Clamping

No clamping screw greatly reduces setting times

Polished Flutes

Combined with high helix angle guarantees excellent chip flow

Anti-Rotating Inserts

Acute angle insert clamping area to prevent rotating while machining

Wide Range of Sizes

Inserts available in a wide range of sizes from 12-30.9mm

Rich Mill RM8 Inserts

Insert Designation:

SNMX - Standard Tolerance
SNEX - Ground Tolerance, Non-Ferrous & Finishing

Rich Mill RM8 inserts are double sided and have 8 usable cutting edges in total.
The high rake angle provides a low cutting ressitant and smooth chip flow, even in high feed/large depth of cut applications.

Chipbreaker Guide

Chipbreaker Cutting Edge Application Description
MA Aluminium Optimal cutting edge, high positive rake and buffed surface prevents built up edge and smooth chip flow in aluminium machining
ML Stainless Steel / HRSA's Chip breaker with low cutting load is ideal for machining hard‑to‑cut materials such as stainless steel, titanium, inconel and hastelloy
MF Light Cutting / Finishing / Soft Steel Chip breaker with low cutting load and sharper cutting edge. Excellent for finishing operations, general milling of soft steels and also ideal for low power machines due to low cutting resistance
MM General Machining Optimal for milling in general machining conditions
W (Wiper)* Finishing Special geometry provide excellent surface roughness

*Wiper geometry to be used in conjunction with alternative chip breakers e.g. a 5 tooth holder would take 4x SNMX12/SNEX12 (MF) inserts and 1x Wiper, a 10 tooth holder could take 8x SNMX12/ SNEX12 (MF) inserts and 2x Wipers. For more information please contact technical.
