Sumitomo Electric Carbide Inc. has unveiled the new WDX Indexable Drill Series for large diameter hole drilling.

The WDX accurately drills holes, but also performs operations such as turning and boring. The drill’s nickel-plated steel body reduces inventory costs by accepting the same insert geometry for both the outer and inner cutting edges, and allowing the use of all four of the insert’s cutting edges.

The WDX inserts are available in three new drilling chipbreakers to reduce thrust. Featuring the Super ZX-coated carbide insert grades ACP300 and ACK300, the WDX machines a wide of steels, stainless steels, cast irons, and exotic materials. The WDX Drill is available in coolant through 2XD, 3XD, and 4XD body lengths to provide a solution for a multitude of drilling applications.
