The innovation of SUMITOMO MDE drill bits and NeXEO MDE Series drill bits suits with a variety of application. MDE is also designed to reduce problems caused by old-style drill bits. Accordingly, it covers more usage and meets the work requirement in a more efficient manner. What will be discussed in this article are the reasons why you must use MDE drill bits.
Problem1 I have many different types of work materials so its difficult to manage different kinds of drills!
MDE has a wide application range- you can cut high carbon steel, die steel, stainless steel with just 1 drill!
Our newly developed RX Thinning’s wide chip pocket allows cutting chip to curl and achieves light thrust force. Also, the arc cutting edge cuts the chips so we can avoid chip blockage in any feed conditions.
Problem2 There are many wear and chipping of tool, so I cannot regrind as much as expected. So, its high cost and sometimes it even damages the work material!
Sumitomo original Absotech NX Coating has excellent wear and heat resistance, and high anti peeling. Our new substrate has high hardness and high toughness due to its uniform WC-Co structure too. Together, MDE delivers tough corner edge, so you can avoid surface chipping or crack, promising a long tool life.
Problem3 Its difficult to get cutting accuracy, and take too much time to set the condition.
Our original designed double margin for internal coolant has excellent hole accuracy because the sub margin effect closer to the entrance than conventional double margin drills. It can also prevent hold bending.
Problem4 I use HSS drill but it has short tool life. I cannot change my machine, but I want to increase cycle time. Our MDE drill delivers excellent hole accuracy and quality vs HSS drill, and we even have results of 10 times longer tool life!
