Global leader in metal cutting, Sandvik Coromant has launched the latest addition to its CoroDrill® 860 range. The CoroDrill 860 has an advanced -GM geometry that offers high-performance drilling across a wide range of materials and applications as well as significantly improved tool life. The R840 model is the largest selling drill of the company but new advances in drilling technology, and customers’ needs to improve and better maintain their productivity, paved way for the new CoroDrill 860.
The CoroDrill 860 features a new grade, innovative flute design with a multi-layer physical vapour deposition (PVD) coating on the drill tip. The results are improved drilling capabilities across a range of materials and applications and a much greater tool life than its predecessor, the R840. The advanced geometry makes it ideal for use with a variety of materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron and hardened metals. It also performs competitively with non-ferrous metals such as copper and aluminium and heat resistant super alloys.

“We wanted to offer an improved solution for a vast range of industrial applications, and also to streamline our product offering. We have achieved this with a single, multi-purpose drill that gives superior performance across a range of materials as well as improved drilling quality for our customers. They can also reduce their tooling inventory and overall production cost with greater machine flexibility and reduced set-up times. With thiss new addition to the CoroDrill family, we hope to target a greater variety of industrial sectors while continuing to offer even more possibilities to our existing customers,” commented James Thorpe, Global Product Manager, Sandvik Coromant.
