Gun Drill
Gun Drills are specialized cutting tools designed for deep hole drilling with exceptional accuracy. Their straight flute design allows coolant to flow through the hollow body, lubricating and cooling the cutting edges while efficiently removing chips.
Capable of achieving depth-to-diameter ratios of up to 300:1, Gun Drills are ideal for producing long, straight holes in metals, plastics, and even wood. Carbide tips extend tool life and reduce overall machining costs compared to traditional steel tips.
Commonly used in medical tooling, automotive, aerospace, and mould industries, Gun Drills ensure precision, reliability, and cost-effective performance in demanding applications.
