YG-1 Adds SV-Point Spade Drill Inserts to Tooling Line
The spade drill inserts provide longer tool life at higher spindle speeds and feeds than conventional spade drills, according to the company.
YG-1 SV-Point spade drill inserts offer exceptional performance in a range of applications and materials including steel, stainless steel and cast iron, the company says.
The inserts provide H-coating for high heat and wear resistance; sinusoidal thinning edge for smooth cutting and improved centering; positive rake angle for improved hole finish; and low thrust force, which makes an excellent option for underpowered machines.
There are three material options:
- Super Cobalt (T15): For improved tool life and performance over standard HSS inserts—size range: 9.5 mm to 114.3 mm
- Premium Cobalt (M48): Extended tool life over T15 in harder materials—size range 9.5 mm to 114.3 mm
- Carbide C5 (P40): For longer tool life and faster speeds and feeds in rigid setups—size range 9.5 mm to 47.6 mm
