EXOPRO® WHO-Ni Drills (5955Ni)

The Ultimate in Drilling Performance for Hardened Steels and Nickel Alloys

Overview

The EXOPRO® WHO-Ni drill series is OSG's premium performance drilling line for processing Ni-Alloys and Heat Resistant Super Alloys like Inconel 718. With the addition of the new DUROREY coating uniquely engineered for high-hardness steels, high chipping resistance is made possible even in work materials exceeding 60 HRC, allowing long tool life and high speed milling. Lower helix angles increase point rigidity while internal coolant holes further aid in heat resistance and stable chip evacuation in holes up to 5X diameter.

Features

DUROREY Coating

Outstanding performance in high-hardness steels

Lower helix angle

Lower helix angles create stronger cutting faces, essential when cutting Ni-Alloys and hardened steels.

Internal coolant holes

Coolant delivery at the cutting edge reduces heat and improves chip evacuation, thereby increasing tool life and enabling faster drilling speeds.
