Sandvik’s new exchangeable-tip drill for steel and cast iron

Sandvik has announced their new CoroDrill 870 is now available for both steel and cast iron drilling operations. The new product is part of a new generation of exchangeable-tip drills designed to save time and reduce hole costs.

The drill can be tailored to optimize applications through diameter range, steps and length possibilities. Holes can be made more efficiently and closer to the specifications required, leaving them better suited to subsequent operations.

The new geometries and grades provide a safe cutting process, allowing for increased penetration rates while maintaining chip control and increasing tool life.

The drill is available in diameter range: 12–25.90 mm (0.472–1.020 inch) and lengths 3, 5 and 8 × drill diameter as standard. Each drill body has a unique interface size with matching tips to achieve hole tolerances of IT9–IT10.
