Sandvik Coromant Launches Optimized Multi-material Drill

Sandvik Coromant, has launched the latest addition to its CoroDrill® 860 range. The CoroDrill 860 has an advanced -GM geometry that offers high-performance drilling across a wide range of materials and applications, as well as significantly improved tool life. The new launch stems from one of the most popular product ranges from Sandvik Coromant, the R840. The CoroDrill 860 with -GM geometry features a new grade, innovative flute design with a multi-layer physical vapour deposition (PVD) coating on the drill tip. The results are improved drilling capabilities across a range of materials and applications — including general engineering and automotive.  

One of the most innovative qualities of the drill is its advanced geometry, with the double margin adding stability, increased core strength and reinforced corners all of which contribute to process security and finished hole quality. The flute is highly polished, which helps improve chip evacuation and reduces heat build-up during the drilling process. The advanced geometry of the CoroDrill 860-GM makes it ideal for use with a variety of materials — including steel, stainless steel, cast iron and hardened metals. It also performs competitively with non-ferrous metals, such as copper and aluminium, and heat resistant super alloys.

James Thorpe, Global Product Mnager, Sandvik Coromant, said “The CoroDrill 860 with -GM geometry is suitable for applications where hole quality is critical within the automotive, general machinery and oil and gas industries.  We wanted to offer an improved solution for a vast range of industrial applications, and also streamline our product offering.”
