Economical insert changes
Only the worn insert is replaced, not the whole tool, which keeps running costs down.

GUNDRILL · 600.20 · 600.40
The 600 series is an indexable gundrill with replaceable inserts and support pads. It comes as the standard 600.20 and the 600.40, whose two rows of guide pads make it strong in cross-hole drilling, and covers Ø10.00–33.30 mm. Standard heads are kept in stock for fast delivery.
FEATURES
Features of the 600 series, as listed in the gundrill catalogue.
Only the worn insert is replaced, not the whole tool, which keeps running costs down.
Choose from general-purpose HM3, SM3 for stainless steel and Inconel, and double-coated IM3 for difficult-to-cut materials.
Low cutting resistance and stable cutting, with guide pads that hold the hole diameter accurately.
We keep standard heads in stock for a quick response.

MADE TO ORDER
Each 600 series gundrill is made to order to the dimensions on the drawing. The inserts and support pads are standard parts and are simply replaced.

Dimensions to give us
HOW TO USE
Adjusting the spindle speed and feed at each stage prevents tool deflection and damage.
We recommend drilling the pilot hole deep enough for one side of the guide pad to enter.
Reduce the spindle speed to 60–70% of the working speed and the feed to 30–40% to limit tool deflection and vibration.
Switch the coolant on just before the tool touches the workpiece and keep it constant to the end.
Once the tool is guided, gradually raise the spindle speed to 80–100% of the working speed and the feed to 60–100%.
Reduce the spindle speed to 50–60% and the feed to 10–20% so the drill breaks through smoothly.
Re-enter with the spindle speed reduced to 60–70% and the feed to 30–40%. The second guide pad bears on the workpiece, reducing vibration and improving hole accuracy and surface quality.
GUNDRILL LINE-UP
From Ø10 we use the indexable 600 series; smaller diameters and special shapes are made as brazed gundrills.
Tell us the workpiece material, hole diameter, depth and machine, and we will suggest the right tool.
