This tool is designed to deliver clean slots with consistent dimensions in tight spaces. The combination of a short tool body and a flatted shank reduces deflection and improves seating rigidity, helping to minimize chatter and extend insert and tool life. Alcrona Primax coating enhances wear resistance under high-speed machining, making it suitable for demanding metals like titanium and copper alloys, while the 3-flute geometry supports effective material removal in slotting operations. Whether you’re machining narrow shoulders, precise slots, or ramping into a workpiece, this drill offers reliable performance and repeatable results.
