TDMX — TOP DRILL™ Modular X Modular Drills • TOP DRILL Modular X TDMX Components Drilling is not always a simple, straightforward job. Workpiece instability, vibrations, and chip control are just a few challenges typically encountered in drilling applications. In addition to these challenges, the cost per hole becomes a critical subject in many shops with pressure to achieve sustainable production at the lowest cost possible. The TOP DRILL Modular X (TDMX) holemaking solution is able to address such machining applications and economic requirements with ease. Tube sheets, baffles, I-beams, valves, axles, and track drive units are just a few examples of components that can be machined with more confidence thanks to the TDMX drill, its material-specific inserts, and optimised body design. The combination of an extra stable pocket seat design, reinforced cutting corners, and a through grade, ensures increased process reliability and consequently longer tool life associated, with better hole quality. The WP40PD grade provides the right toughness to face even the most unstable cutting conditions while also suitable for MQL applications. The PK(M) point geometry is designed to operate high feed rates and provide the right guidance for improved hole straightness. The FPE(M) flat bottom geometry is the solution to address the most challenging operations such as thin stack plate drilling, half holes, and any other applications where the standard 140° shows limits. FPE(M) can also be used as pilot for deep-hole drills.
