HIGH PERFORMANCE PRECISION DRILLING

TBT has permeated and decisively developed deep drilling technology. In the high-performance precision drilling sector, the single-edged gun drill has established itself thanks to the diameter tolerances achievable, the surface qualities as well as the reduced level of runout. In many applications the principle of deep drilling therefore allows both drilling and reaming to be carried out in a single operation, making use of extremely reliable processes.
However, deep drilling is not the only process required. The single-edged gun bit combines high drilling precision with high performance and is therefore the ideal tool also for fields of application requiring the execution of short and precise holes.
Single-edged gun drills are tools with one cutting edge. In the initial drilling phase they are guided through a guide bush. The drills are used not only in deep drilling machines but also in other systems, such as in machining centers or automatic lathes. The coolant supplied by the machine reaches the cutting edge passing through the inside of the tool. The pressurized coolant cools and lubricates the tip and also expels chips from the hole.

Deep drilling is therefore a highly performing and efficient process and guarantees high drilling precision.
TBT single-edged gun drills are made for any drilling diameter (in 1/1000 mm increments) from 0.7 mm up to well over 50 mm and for overall lengths that can reach up to approximately 6000 mm.

TBT tools are developed and manufactured taking into consideration the material to be drilled, the machine you use and the specific drilling conditions. Always optimal solutions: tools for standard holes or for enlarging existing holes, stepped tools for producing precise step drillings with minimum eccentricity, special tools for particular drilling bases, versions with or without coating or with cutting edges diamond tools suitable to meet the highest demands.

Single-edged tools for solid holes are used for diameters from 0.7 mm up to 50 mm. The plunge process does not involve the use of steady rests, so the maximum drilling depth is limited to 160 mm.

This process is particularly suitable for making short holes. Tools with a diameter of less than 2 mm are made entirely of carbide. For the diameter range between 2 and 12 mm and not excessively deep holes, solid carbide tools are increasingly used.

The sealing to the machine spindle is achieved via the immersion sleeve/mandrel.

The supply of the coolant occurs through one or more holes (or kidneys) inside the tool. The mixture of chips and coolant is evacuated through a longitudinal groove (rib) on the outside of the tool shank.

The cutting edge extends over the radius of the hole to be drilled. The tool consists of the head, the grooved shank and the locking element (sleeve). The "classic" single-edged gun drill is equipped with a solid carbide tip on which the cutting edge and guide shoes are made.

The single-edged gun bits with brazed tip are composed of a solid carbide tip, a hardened steel shank and a steel locking bush. The head and locking bush are fixed through the brazing process.

DOUBLE BLADE CANNON TIP

Drilling with a double-edged gun bit is a process similar to that of deep drilling and is used for diameters between 6 and 25 mm and for longer lengths of a maximum of 30 or 40 times the diameter. The tools are double-edged and in addition to the two cylindrical grinding chamfers, they are normally equipped with two guide shoes. These tools are made of solid carbide (VHM) or with VHM head and steel tube shank or solid steel shank. Due to the small chip evacuation space, these tools should preferably be used for short-chipping materials.
