EMUGE-FRANKEN USA, West Boylston, Massachusetts, is a manufacturer of high-performance taps, thread mills, end mills, drills and other rotary tools, has introduced a full line of 3XD and 5XD high-quality solid carbide multipurpose drills that are ideal for a wide range of materials and applications typically found in high mix – low volume job shop environments.

“Our extensive research and testing have resulted in a completely new high penetration rate drill design providing everyday use and maximum productivity,” said Marlon Blandon, product manager, drills, thread milling.

EMUGE MultiDRILL™ is made of a unique sub-micro grain carbide grade that is harder than conventional carbide grades for drilling, yet it retains the ability to withstand shock and chipping. MultiDRILL features advanced TIALN-T63 coating utilizing nano-layer technology with surface hardness exceeding standard TIALN-based coatings, for reduced friction at high temperatures.

Featuring concave cutting edges, MultiDRILL has higher chip shearing ability and a tightly controlled edge preparation process that provides consistent performance and long tool life. In addition, a double-margin design helps stabilize the drill in the cut, allowing rounder, more accurate holes. Another unique MultiDRILL feature is a drill web construction with a wide-open flute form for maximum chip evacuation. MultiDRILLs also are self-centering, eliminating pre-spot drilling applications and all tools feature coolant-thru capability.

EMUGE MultiDRILL is available in 3XD and 5XD sizes from 0.1181 to 0.7500 inches, a total of 372 SKUs in the program.
