Emuge-Franken USA Expands Solid Carbide Drill Program to Enhance Holemaking Solutions!

Emuge-Franken USA, a leading manufacturer of high-performance taps, thread mills, end mills, drills, and other rotary tools, has significantly expanded its solid carbide drill program in North America. The company has introduced two all-new lines of high-performance drills—SteelDrill and InoxDrill—and has expanded its existing MultiDRILL line to include new lengths and micro drills. Additionally, the EF-Drill line is now available in 12XD lengths, further enhancing the company’s comprehensive holemaking solutions.

“Our expanded drill program, with more than 1,000 SKUs, offers our customers even more comprehensive solutions for holemaking,” said Dylan Bowles, Product Director at Emuge-Franken USA. “The addition of these new high-performance drill lines, along with extended options in the MultiDRILL and EF-Drill lines, underscores our commitment to providing advanced holemaking solutions that cater to a wide range of materials and applications.”

The EMUGE SteelDrill line is engineered for steel and cast materials and also performs exceptionally well in hard and non-ferrous metals. Key features of the SteelDrill include:

• Concave primary cutting edge with optimized edge preparation for high precision.
• Coolant-through capability to enhance cooling and chip removal.
• Double-margin design for excellent stabilization and high-quality hole production.
• Proprietary EMUGE coating that enables smooth, high-speed cutting and extends tool life.

Available in 3XD, 5XD, and 8XD lengths, the SteelDrill line spans diameters from 0.1181” to 0.7874” (3.00 to 20.00 mm), offering a total of 548 SKUs.

The EMUGE InoxDrill is specifically designed for stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and nickel alloys. It features:

• Single-margin design to reduce material adhesion and enhance hole guidance.
• Custom EMUGE coating and polishing process for superior cutting performance.
• Concave primary cutting edge with optimized edge preparation and coolant-through capability.

Available in 3XD and 5XD lengths, the InoxDrill line spans diameters from 0.1181” to 0.7500” (3.00 mm to 19.05 mm), offering a total of 372 SKUs.

The EMUGE MultiDRILL line, already known for its versatility in drilling a wide range of materials, has expanded to include 8XD lengths for deeper hole drilling. New diameters from 0.1181” to 0.6299” (3.00 mm to 16.00 mm) bring the total number of new SKUs in the MultiDRILL line to 172.

Additionally, 6XD Micro Drills are introduced, ranging from 0.0394” (1 mm) to 0.1160” (2.95 mm) in diameter. These micro drills feature:

• Advanced flute profile designed to improve chip evacuation.
• Radius cutting edge for high shearing action.
• ALCR-99 coating for superior heat and wear resistance.

Emuge-Franken USA now offers EF-Drills in 12XD lengths for deeper hole drilling applications. These high-performance drills are available in diameters from 0.1181” to 0.5512” (3.00 mm to 14.00 mm), with 47 new SKUs. Designed for demanding applications, these drills ensure straightness and superior surface quality beyond what standard high-speed steel drills can achieve.

With the expansion of its solid carbide drill program, Emuge-Franken USA continues to lead the market with advanced, high-performance drilling solutions tailored to meet the needs of industries requiring precision and efficiency. The company’s extended product lines for a variety of materials and applications promise to deliver improved productivity and cost-effectiveness for manufacturers across North America.
