Cyclone

Cyclone Series of High Performance Drills

Cyclone Series of High Performance Drills​

With the Double Margin design, drilling into the hole is faster, the hole surface is better and the position is better when drilling cross-section holes. The Surface Finish technology is developed before coating to improve the adhesion. The Surface Finish technology is developed after coating to increase chip evacuation. And Edge Honing is done to protect the cutting edge area.
