IMTS 2016: Sumitomo Upgrades its Large Diameter Drill Series

Sumitomo Electric Carbide, Inc.’s industry-acclaimed WDX Series large diameter drill line now includes WDX-L coolant through models.

Reducing the cost per part, the WDX-L Indexable Drill features side port coolant. Because not all spindles are coolant-thru, the WDX-L allows for the use of coolant through the side port. WDX-L diameters range from 0.5625” – 2.5000” in 4XD drill body lengths. The WDX-L uses the same inserts as Sumitomo’s conventional WDX Series (WDXT inserts).

Sumitomo’s vast selection of WDX and WDX-L bodies deliver a proven design for stable drilling. All drill bodies come with a four-cornered indexable insert design to provide a cost effective drilling solution and easy tool management. The series uses two inserts per drill, regardless of diameter size. Insert grades for a longer tool life include ACP300 for steel, ACK300 for cast iron and DL1500 for aluminum.
