Cutting Tools: CrazyDrill crosspilot

Mikron Tool has developed a pilot drill for inclined surfaces, which affords in many instances a perfect pilot hole for subsequent drilling at an angle.Centering or directly finish drilling; this represents no major problem as long as the tool hits the work piece at a right cutting angle.

If the surfaces are curved or the drilling is applied at an angle, it becomes more difficult. In this case due to the resulting forces precise machining becomes a challenging task.

The new pilot drill CrazyDrill Crosspilot has been developed to meet such challenges. In fact it can be used effectively for cutting angles with an inclination up to 60°. Thus it reduces the up to now required 3 machining steps (flat milling + centering + drilling) to only two operations (pilot drilling + drilling).

The 170° point angle stands for a correct piloting for the subsequent drilling and prevents breakage of the cutting edges. By using a CrazyDrill for the execution of the subsequent hole it ensures that no gauged step is recognizable. The product range is matched to the existing CrazyDrill product lines. Diameters from 0.4 mm to 6.0 mm are available from stock with increments of 0,05 mm.
