OSG ADO-SUS coolant-through carbide drill for stainless steel and titanium alloy

ADO-SUS drill series is OSGs next generation line of carbide coolant-through high performance drills, designed to drill stainless steels, titanium alloys and various other materials.

The OSG ADO-SUS is one of OSG’s latest innovations for drilling stainless steel and titanium alloy with predictable and consistent tool life. This coolant through carbide drill series has adopted a tool geometry that emphasises sharpness to reduce work hardening, thereby prolonging tool life for post processing including reaming and tapping. Its new flute form encourages the creation of small cutting chips, which is essential for trouble-free chip evacuation.

The flute design produces optimal chip shape, thereby fulfilling smooth chip evacuation when drilling. The margin form is designed to realise low resistance and low cutting temperature.

Furthermore, the OSG ADO-SUS has employed a unique oil hole design – Mega Cooler – for diameter sizes above 6mm in 3D and 5D to suppress heat generation and to facilitate smooth chip evacuation in difficult-to-machine materials.

With the addition of OSG’s WXL coating, stronger adhesion strength and resistance against welding can be achieved.

8D sizes added to ADO-SUS carbide drill series
8D sizes have been added to OSG’s ADO-SUS, a coolant-through carbide drill series engineered to excel in difficult-to-machine materials such as stainless steels and titanium alloys.

Work hardening, welding, elongation of cutting chips and poor thermal conductivity are common problems in the machining of stainless steels and titanium alloys. The ADO-SUS series has adopted a tool geometry that emphasises sharpness to reduce work hardening, thereby prolonging tool life for post-processing including reaming and tapping.
