Product Features

A gun-drilled deep hole provides the following advantages: good hole straightness; excellent surface roughness; hole diameter tolerance of approx. H7 to H9; and eliminating the need for reaming.
Usable in conjunction with dedicated gun drill machines, as well as in general-purpose machines such as machining centers.
Provided with two unique, differently shaped oil holes or a kidney-shaped oil hole to supply sufficient oil to the drilled surface and ensure stable deep hole drilling.
Capable of drilling a wide range of holes sized 0.5 to 51.20 mm in dia. Available in the following three different types: carbide solid type; brazed carbide head type; and indexable type. Wide customization available upon request to meet specific needs, such as chip breaker or coating, and enable more stable deep hole drilling.

Advantages of gun drilling
Good hole straightness One millimeter or less centerline deviation per normal drilling depth of 1,000 mm!
Small diameter variations Capable of drilling with tolerance about H7 to H9!
Excellent surface roughness Excellent surface roughness achieved thanks to burnishing effect of guide pad!
Shorter machining time No step feeding required!
