In order to meet the needs of users to increase production efficiency, tool makers are constantly innovating the design and manufacturing strategies of various drilling tools.

In various manufacturing industries such as automobiles, medical instruments, aerospace, and general engineering, manufacturers can use various advanced drilling tools, including high drilling rate solid carbide drills, indexable insert drills, and Replaced carbide drill tip drills, and the use of an increasing number of multi-functional drills, etc., for drilling a variety of small holes, deep holes, as well as a complete drilling, chamfering, boring and other processing without the need for secondary Processing.

Tool makers take full advantage of technological advances in tool geometry, substrate materials and surface coatings, continue to introduce new tool variants, expand existing product lines, and custom-design specialized tools to standard supply products.

The advancement of CNC machine tools (especially machining centers), Swiss-type turning centers, and long-bed lathes that can optimize the processing performance of long drills has also enabled the advantages of advanced drilling tools to be fully utilized. The high rigidity of modern processing machines and the ability to deliver large amounts of coolant under high pressure are also critical for drilling operations.

In metal cutting, shortening the processing time is one of the main goals pursued by people. It is no exception for hole machining. In addition, certain industries have high requirements for the accuracy of the holes and also exert additional pressure on the hole machining. For example, the medical and aerospace manufacturing industry has a high requirement for the consistency of the hole jump accuracy and tool life. Manufacturers also face the challenge of machining advanced workpiece materials (such as titanium alloys, Inconel alloys, cobalt-chromium alloys, etc.).

Solid carbide drills are still due to their own high rigidity and other four design features that still work: carbide surface coatings, drill geometry, land width and back taper (usually up to φ25 mm). It is a good processing option. The most effective coating design is a multi-layered PVD coating (top layer is a smooth layer to prevent chip adhesion) and it is combined with a tough carbide substrate with good chipping resistance to make the drill bit more applicable. High feed rates are processed. The bit geometry needs to be designed for each specific workpiece material, including difficult-to-machine materials. The reasonable design of the bit land width can improve the drilling accuracy and drilling ability of the drill bit. The size of the back taper affects the contact surface between the machined hole and the drill, so it must be precisely designed according to different materials to avoid shortening the tool life due to friction.

The Minimal Lubrication (MQL) bit, AGPower long bit, cobalt high speed steel non-internal cooling bit, and TiAlN coated bit developed by the Nachi America Inc. Tool Division have been acquired at the Ford, GM, and Honda automotive plants. Successfully applied, compared with powder metal drills, the number of holes drilled on the crankshaft can be doubled, and the machining cost per piece can be reduced by 50%.

Multi-purpose hole processing tools are extremely valuable because they can shorten the processing time and omit the secondary processing. As a manufacturer of precision rotary tool chucks and other integral fit tool systems, manufacturing engineers at Ingersoll Cutting Tools realized that they combine drilling, chamfering and boring functions into one tool It can achieve the high precision needed to process the shank pull nails. To this end, they have developed a Qwik Twist interchangeable point drill with a variety of functions. The drill is used for drilling, boring and chamfering on the 4000 series alloy steel pull nails (bore diameter φ22.2mm, hole depth 98.3mm), and the machining time can be shortened by more than 7 minutes. Now, the Qwik Twist multi-function drill bit has been included in the Ingersoll hole tooling product line and has a technical team to design and manufacture.

In order to integrate drilling and chamfering functions into a single tool, Sumitomo Electric has developed two processing systems. One is suitable for solid carbide drill bodies; the other is suitable for SMD replaceable hard alloy drill tips. Among them, the SumiChamfer system firmly nests an annular chamfered head on the drill body of the solid carbide drill and then clamps it on the collet chuck for processing. There are 3 types of chamfering rings, which can complete the drilling and chamfering of 4 to 20 mm aperture sizes. This system uses the industry-standard ER series collet chuck. As the processing aperture increases, large-size chucks with larger clamping force are used [ER20 ​​(4mm), ER25 (9.4mm), ER32 (14.0mm) ]. Two SumiChamfer standard inserts are available for machining. One of the ACZ310 brand inserts is suitable for machining all workpiece materials. Sumitomo Electric also developed the SMD sumiChamfer series of chamfered rings for interchangeable point-end SMD drills. It is suitable for standard SMD drills with diameters from 12 to 22.5mm metric or imperial. The SMD chamfering ring uses the standard SumiChamfer type blade. The blade is divided into two types: chipbreaker groove and chipbreaker groove, all adopting ACZ310 grade.
