Indexable Holemaking Platform



The Top Cut 4 indexable drilling platform from WIDIA is targeted to end users that machine a broad assortment of products and need one drill for a variety of drilling applications and workpiece materials.

Top Cut 4 provides one drill platform for a wide range of jobs.

The Top Cut 4 indexable holemaking platform from WIDIA is targeted to end users that need one drill that can be applied in a variety of drilling applications and different workpiece materials. Application capabilities include through- and cross-holes, inclined entry and exit opportunity, 45° corner, half-cylindrical, concave and chain drilling. "Four true cutting edges combined with WIDIA-grade technology result in higher speeds and feeds, higher metal removal rates and extended tool life," said a company spokesperson.

Top Cut 4 periphery and center inserts each feature proprietary cutting profiles for improved centering capability and workpiece penetration. The inner and outer (center and periphery) inserts are clearly differentiated for no mixups, and are available in grades for high-speed applications, high toughness demands and high metal removal rates. Specific geometries are available with such features as reinforced cutting edges and a steep chip breaker for steel, cast iron and short-chipping materials, or an optimized chip groove for stainless steel, long-chipping steels and where low power consumption is required.

Top Cut 4 features high-stability shanks in lengths of 2XD, 3XD, 4XD and 5XD, in both metric and inch configurations. Diameter ranges from 12 to 68 mm (0.473" to 2.5"). Eight insert sizes cover the complete diameter range. "The cutting edge profile of the central and periphery inserts work together, leading to high stabilization of the drill, preventing tool drifting even on irregular surfaces," said the spokesperson.

"Robust cutter bodies are marked by deep helix angled flutes for efficient chip evacuation even at 5XD length," continued the spokesperson. "Large coolant holes mean efficient coolant delivery and extended insert life."

Top Cut 4 is available through NOVO, WIDIA's digital process knowledge application, which is available on iPad and other digital devices.
