Drilling a Steel Stack with the HPX Drill for Steels (Part 2)

You asked, we answered! We're putting the HPX Drill to the test again with a stack of varying steels - this time to drill more holes and show you what the drill tip looked like after we were done. If you missed the original video, check it out here: Drilling a Steel Stack with the HPX Drill for Steels Kennametal's HPX solid carbide drill for steels features a straight cutting edge that reduces build-up and chipping on the cutting edge and margin land. The patented HPX point provides excellent self-centering capabilities, reduces thrust and enables precise center chip formation. 2 margin lands provide stability, reduce friction. Up to 3 times higher cutting parameters, saving machining time and freeing up capacity. Ultra-high polished chip flutes reduce friction, improve chip evacuation and increase tool life. A continuous chip-flute cross-section reduces vibrations and reduces cutting edge chipping. MQL-ready! All shanks fulfill the DIN 6535 and 69090-03 requirements for minimum-quantity lubrication.

HPX vs GOdrill - Material-specific vs Multipurpose Drill

In this video, we're going to measure productivity of a general purpose drill against a material-specific drill. We'll do that by drilling blind holes into a block of 4140 steel with both drills running at their top recommended speeds and feeds. We'll show them side by side so we can see the speed/feed comparison. The two drills that we're comparing are the multi-purpose drill, GOdrill, and a material-specific drill, the HPX Drill for steels. If you have many different materials to drill on a daily basis and you only need ONE drill that is capable of doing it, then the GOdrill is the right choice for you. To learn more about the multi-purpose GOdrill, click here: https://okt.to/qERKOp If speed is all that matters when drilling steels, the HPX drill’s material-specific low thrust drill point is the way to go.

CNC Machine "Golfing" With HPX Drill and GOdrill

Let's go golfing! For this video, we're going to measure drilling vibrations for general purpose and material specific drills. We'll do that by using a 16mm 4140 strong steel plate clamped only on one side in a vice - on the other end we'll put a golf tee and a golf ball. We'll be comparing the vibrations created from a multi-purpose drill, GOdrill, and with a material specific drill, the HPX Drill for steels. If you have many different materials to drill on a daily basis and you only need ONE drill that is capable of doing it, then the GOdrill is the right choice.
