With the DC118 Supreme solid carbide drill, Walter is signaling the start of a new performance class for challenging applications. The "180° drills" differ from standard solid carbide drills in particular due to the high rigidity they provide against deflection, the good centering accuracy and four chamfers, which enable excellent guidance after plunging. The 180° point angle, among other features, means that the DC118 Supreme is ideal for plunging into angled or round surfaces because the drill is guided quickly on the external faces and centered accurately. At the same time, burr formation remains extremely low. A protective corner chamfer on the cutting edges protects them against rapid wear, which significantly increases tool life compared to drills without a protective chamfer. The excellent rigidity of the drill is a third feature that sets it apart from other products on the market. It is the result of the flat 15° helix angle, which minimises deflection forces and ensures a high level of stability and precision during ramping.
