Product Features

• Dual Functionality:
• The tool is designed to handle both drilling and milling tasks. As a drill of the tool can be used to make holes, as an end mill it can perform operations such as face milling, pocketing, contouring, and even some finishing tasks.
• The design allows users to start a hole and finish it with the same tool, reducing the need to change tools mid-process
• Precision and Versatility:
• The combined tool is capable of achieving high precision in both drilling and milling operations, making it suitable for a wide range of applications where tight tolerances and complex shapes are required.
• Some tools are designed with coolant through capabilities, directing coolant directly to the cutting edge to improve chip evacuation and reduce heat buildup.

Advantages of Combined Insert Drill and End Mill Tools:

• Reduced Tool Changes:
• The most significant advantage of a combined tool is the ability to complete both drilling and milling operations without switching between tools. This minimizes downtime, reduces setup times, and improves overall efficiency in the machining process.
• Improved Productivity:
• By integrating two functions into one tool, manufacturers can process parts faster, reducing cycle times and overall production time. The tool is especially useful in situations where multiple features (like holes and contours) are needed on the same part.
• Cost Savings:
• Since the tool combines both operations, it eliminates the need for purchasing and maintaining separate drills and end mills. Additionally, the use of replaceable inserts further reduces costs, as worn-out inserts can be replaced without having to discard the entire tool.
• Simplified Tool Management:
• With fewer tools to manage, organizing inventory becomes easier. Toolholders are typically universal, which can also standardize tool usage across different machining operations.
