Mikron's CrazyDrill Cool - the small drill with internal cooling for High-Speed Drilling

Seattle, WA, USA--(Jobwerx)--APRIL 15, 2005--A breakthrough in small solid carbide drill technology and development of the cutting process for high-speed drilling.

CrazyDrill Cool, from Mikron Tool SA Agno, Switzerland, is used for all applications requiring deep, accurately drilled holes. In order to cover the entire spectrum from non-ferrous metal to heat-treated steel, it is available either with a specially developed coating or in an uncoated version. The internal cooling system developed by Mikron Tool provides optimum cooling and lubrication at the cutting edge, even with low coolant pressure. The special CrazyDrill cutting edge geometry is designed for optimum chip removal. Pecking is not required up to 10 x Ø. Compared with a standard deep-hole drill, it achieves advance speeds and feeds 10 to 20 times higher.

CrazyDrill covers high-speed drilling with diameters of up to 4 mm, while the Special Tools range from end mills, to step drills, reamers and finishing tools with diameters from 0.2 to 30 mm ( .008" - 1.18").

The extraordinary success since the first presentation of this new product at Metav 2004 as well as the orders already entered have reinforced the strategy by the Swiss tool manufacturer Mikron Tool SA Agno to concentrate on new developments which bring the most benefits to their customers!

CrazyDrill Cool, the small drill with internal cooling, together with the corresponding PilotDrill manages to perform drilling tasks even with difficult materials. Since the middle of the last year, production runs at full speed. This allows delivery from stock of standard sizes. Customers can purchase from the headquarters of Mikron Tool in Agno (Switzerland) or from the subsidiary in Rottweil (Germany).

The standard diameters of Ø 1 to 4 mm, in increments of 0,05 mm are available from stock in the coated version for the machining of steel and in an uncoated version for non-ferrous metals. The customer can choose between three lengths: 6 x Ø, 10 x Ø and 15 x Ø. In all a very considerable amount of stock, 366 different types, is available. When questioned about the particular qualities of the new drill, the Technical Director of Mikron Tool says: the name CrazyDrill is not a coincidence. The results achieved, especially with stainless steel are really extraordinary. A hole, Ø 1,5 mm with a depth of 22,5 mm in stainless steel (X2CrNiMo18-14-3) is made at a speed of vc = 40 - 45 m/min and a feed of f = 0,05 mm/r. In this case, 4 pecks are sufficient to reach the full depth. The use of a paired PilotDrill to prepare the hole guarantees constant drilling precision and a perfect guide for the subsequent drilling.

Mikron Tool is a manufacturer of small to medium-sized cutting tools for the high-end market. The cutting tools, manufactured principally from tungsten carbide with tight tolerances, are divided into two product lines, Special Tools and CrazyDrills. Both are successfully used in the high-volume machining of precise workpieces.

Many producers from industries, such as Automotive Subcontractors, Precision Engineering, Electronics, Home Electronics, Medical, Telecommunications, Fittings, Spectacles and Ball Pen manufacturers among others owe the good reputation of their products to a well-directed usage of special tools and solutions provided by Mikron Tool Engineering.
