System (STS) is not necessary for the DTS and G it is therefore suitable for conventional general purpose machines such as lathes or machining centers.

In general, because of less effi cient chip evacuation than the STS the recommended max No need for seal H drilling depth is 1000mm. However, the unique DTC-R tube connector that is capable of supplying high pressure coolant can successfully achieve drilling depths of up to 2000 mm. I
