EMUGE-FRANKEN USA, a manufacturer of high-performance taps, thread mills, end mills, drills, and other rotary tools, made a broad expansion to its solid carbide drill program in North America, introducing SteelDrill and InoxDrill, two all-new lines of drills. In addition, the range of its popular MultiDRILL line has expanded with the addition of 8XD lengths and new Micro Drills. Also, EF-Drill is now available in 12XD.
“Our significantly expanded drill program with the addition of over 1,000 SKUs offers customers even more comprehensive holemaking solutions, including two new lines of high-performance drills,” says Dylan Bowles, Product Director, EMUGE-FRANKEN USA.
SteelDrill line
The new EMUGE SteelDrill line is optimized for steel and cast materials, while also performing efficiently in hard and non-ferrous metals. Key features include a concave primary cutting edge with optimized edge preparation, coolant-through capability, and a double-margin design for excellent stabilization and high-precision hole quality. A proprietary EMUGE coating ensures smooth, high-speed cutting and exceptionally long tool life. This high-performance drill line is available in 3XD, 5XD, and 8XD lengths, with diameters from 0.1181" to 0.7874" (3.00mm to 20.00mm), totaling 548 SKUs.
InoxDrill line
New EMUGE InoxDrill is designed for stainless, aluminum, titanium, and nickel alloys. It features a single-margin design to reduce material adhesion and improve hole guidance, along with a custom EMUGE coating and polishing process. Like the SteelDrill, it includes coolant-through capability and a concave primary cutting edge with optimized edge preparation for superior performance. The InoxDrill line is available in 3XD and 5XD lengths, with diameters from 0.1181" to 0.7500" (3.00mm to 19.05mm), totaling 372 SKUs.
MultiDRILL line
In addition to existing 3XD and 5XD lengths, the new EMUGE MultiDRILL line is now available in 8XD lengths in diameters from 0.1181” to 0.6299” (3.00mm to 16.00mm), a total of 172 new SKUs. MultiDRILL is the go-to drill for job shops running many materials or production.
The MultiDRILL line also includes new 6XD Micro Drills ranging from 0.0394" (1 mm) up to 0.1160" (2.95mm) in diameter. The new MultiDRILL Micro Drills feature an advanced flute profile designed to enhance chip evacuation of varying materials and have a radius cutting edge for high shearing action. A specialized point geometry generates short chips and guarantees optimum performance. For heat and wear resistance, MultiDRILL Micro Drills have ALCR-99 coating.
EF 12XD Drills
EMUGE high performance EF-Drills are now available in 12XD lengths in diameters from 0.1181" to 0.5512" (3.00mm to 14.00mm), a total of 47 new SKUs. EMUGE EF-Drills are designed for premium performance in demanding applications and materials for deeper hole drilling that require straightness and surface quality beyond a standard high speed steel drill.
