Gold-Twist drilling line
Ingersoll has extended the application range of its successful Gold-Twist drilling line by introducing a flat-face geometry tip for flat bottom machining, in a diameter range of 8.00mm to 25.5mm (.312 1.012).
The new line reduces the number of tools required to generate a flat bottom hole from 2 or 3 to a single tool, greatly reducing cycle time. The new geometry produces excellent chip breaking and high-precision flat surfaces. These new tips are fully compatible with the Gold-Twists current line of bodies in the same size.
Inserts are available in grade IN2505 PVD multi-layered coating providing high wear resistance, chipping resistance and prolonged tool life.
TBTA-H Drill Head

Ingersoll is pleased to announce the next step in the evolution of the fixed pocket, indexable BTA drill head. The new TBTA-H series heads range in diameter from .984”-2.559” (25mm-65mm) and provide higher accuracy, improved straightness, better surface finish and longer tool life compared to the TBTA-C and TBTA-D series heads.
An ‘H’ class, peripheral ground insert mounted in the outboard station provides 50% tighter hole variation, providing IT10 accuracy (.0028” total tolerance). as well as higher speed and feed capability.
Wider chip mouth for maximum chip evacuation clearance allows smooth delivery of coolant to the cutting edge and assures sufficient cooling for the guide pads.
Hi-FeedMidi

Strong, positive rake face angles, four insert indexes, rigid clamping and high tensile screws provide efficient, worry-free, cost-effective machining. The Hi-FeedMidi family is available in high-density end mill, modular head and face mill styles with through coolant.
The new Hi-FeedMidi milling family offers all the advantages of Ingersolls successful Hi-FeedMini™, but with a .060 depth of cut capability. This family of cutters is very well-suited to work in the Die/Mold and Aerospace industries, as well as general purpose machining.

Solid Endmills for CFRP And Honeycomb Parts
Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) are extremely abrasive and especially difficult to machine.
When machining composites such as CFRP, there is no chip to speak of. Instead, the material removal mechanism might be better described as shattering. Due to the harsh cutting environment, tool life can be very short when machining CFRP composites. Unless the edge material can withstand the abrasion well enough to hold its geometry and stay sharp, the tool can wear so rapidly that the geometry can change rapidly as well.
To successfully machine CFRP, Ingersoll now offers standard sharp solid-carbide tools made from grade IN05S which can be supplied on request with long-lasting diamond coating. The unique 10- or 12-flute profile provides good surface finish and, in most cases, eliminates CFRP fiber breakout. Ingersolls Tek-Rounds for machining CFRP composites are available in diameter 3-12 mm and 0.125 0.500
