Innovative carbide and cermet products at GrindTec
CERATIZIT presents solutions for precision-tool manufacturers and wood machining
Coolant hole rods programme that offers a multitude of configurations and ensures high precision
Diameter range
Our programme enables the production of blanks for gun drills with coolant holes in the diameter range from 3 mm to 35 mm.
Numerous versions available in stock
The optimal rods with 2, 3 or 4 coolant holes with helix angles from 15° to 51°, in standard lengths up to 530 mm can be selected for all common drill geometries.
Minimum pitch tolerances
Thanks to the unique CERATIZIT classification system even extra-long drilling tools may be ground whilst maintaining process stability.
Extended stock range – submicron grade CTS12D and CTS24Z
As of now our rods with helical coolant holes are also available in submicron grade CTS12D and CTS24Z from stock. CTS12D is characterised by high wear resistance and is extremely suitable for diamond coating. CTS24Z is a special high-performance grade for machining of titanium and heat-resistant alloys.
