GO-drill - Kennametal's First Micro Drill »

The high-performance solid carbide drill is tailored for very small to medium diameter drilling applications.
High-end grades, a wear indicator coating, and new, patented geometries enable full utilization of the GOdrill's tool life capacity.
The GOdrill is a very cost-effective tool in a diameter range of 1,0mm (.0394") to 12,7mm (.5").

The new B25*YPC series solid carbide drills deliver the best tool life and hole quality in cast iron, ductile iron, CGI, and ADI. They can be used with standard through coolant or MQL.
The YPC drill series combines unique Kennametal technologies such as the Y-TECH™ flute angle, the HP-Point geometry, the KCK10 Beyond grade, and the new post-coat treatment technology into one tool.
B25*YPC is the ultimate production tool for cast iron workpiece applications.

High-performance drills for steel and cast iron applications.
Four-margin design provides stability in challenging hole configurations, such as cross-hole applications.
Available with and without coolant holes.

Patented solid carbide drill technology ensures cabability to run at highest speeds and feeds in the industry.
Solid and through-coolant "application-specific" designs for all materials and coolant options.

Drill holes up to 4x faster than conventional HSS and gun drills.
Excellent centering abilities with highest possible feed rates.
Four-margin lands and unique flute design for improved hole straightness and greater chip evacuation.

Combines two operations into one: eliminates 180° end mill in flat bottom drilling, then runs at normal solid carbide drill parameters.
Unique point design with two effective cutting edges for high feed rates.
Rake angle correction improves chip control, while four-margin land design improved hole straightness and roundness.

YPL point prevents chip jamming, improves drill centering, and makes reconditioning easier.
Uneven flute-to-flute angle eliminates chipping on margin lands.
Three-margin land design reduces pendulum motion by directing forces toward the guiding margin. Result: high-hole accuracy and constant diameter.

Material-specific design and grade to machine carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials by minimizing delamination and increasing tool life.
Special 90° point angle increases hole quality, with low thrust and improved hole quality.
Combination of point design, substrate, and coating provides longer tool life with substantially less cutting force.

X-shaped, free-cutting 130° point design.
Ideal for high-quality, close tolerance holes that require very good surface finish.
Designed for gray cast iron, nodular iron, and non-ferrous and aluminum alloy materials.
