Indexable Insert Drills WDX

■  General Features The SumiDrill WDX Indexable Drill has excellent cutting balance that provides stable hole drilling on a wide range of part materials from general steel to stainless steel and aluminum alloy. Available in three original chipbreaker styles, the inserts feature improved chip control and reduced cutting force for use in low- rigidity contexts.

Central Insert

■ Features and Applications ● Balanced Design

Peripheral Insert

Cutting force during drilling is balanced between the central insert and peripheral insert. The relative position of each insert is optimized to provide stable drilling. ● Excellent Chip Control The chip evacuation direction can be controlled with the chip control groove

Chip control groove in each cutting edge

at the center of the breaker, enabling good chip control. ● Versatile Tool for a Variety of Machining Applications

Select among three types of breakers for different applications, allowing optimal drilling for a variety of work materials and conditions. Suitable for a wide range of applications including hole expansion, spot facing,

external turning, and internal boring. ● Economical Four-Cornered Insert

Central Insert

The insert has an extremely economical design where a single insert type can be used for the central insert or peripheral insert, with two corners for each position - a total of four usable corners. ● WDXT-M, along with ACM300, a grade for stainless steel with a strong edge, establishes stable tool life and excellent wear resistance.

■ Performance ● Balanced Design (Comparison of Horizontal Component Values) Balance is maintained at the through hole entry and exit points, and drilling is stable. WDX

● Finishing is easy because the hole bottom is almost flat.
