Release of the MWE integral shank diameter solid carbide drills (SB/MB)

December 01, 2006

  Mitsubishi Materials Corporation has recently developed and manufactured new MWE integral shank diameter solid carbide drills (SB/MB) to compliment the MIRACLE coated WSTAR drill range. These new drills will start to be sold by Mitsubishi Materials Tools Corporation (President: Osamu Takata, Headquarters: 1-6-1 Yokoami, Sumida-ku, Tokyo).
WSTAR  The MIRACLE coated WSTAR drills with features such as superior chip control, high accuracy, long tool life were originally released into the market in April 2002.
 The MWE type drills have the same features as the WSTAR series but due to the addition of the integral shank diameters and the use of h6 shank diameter tolerance, the MWE integral shank drills can be used with various shrink fit holders. The MWE type includes two types, SB type for 2xD hole depths and MB type for 3xD hole depths.

Features of MWE type MIRACLE coated WSTAR drills (SB/MB)

1.
Centripetal cutting edge geometry for improved initial entry into a work piece. This enables overall superior hole accuracy.
2.
  • The unique, optimized cross sectional flute designed for efficient chip disposal allows continuous feed drilling in comparison to the convention method of peck feeding. This results in a greatly improved machining efficiency.
3.
Integral diameters and a shank diameter tolerance of h6 allows the drills to be used with various shrink fit holders.
