DRILLING TOOLS
DRILLING TOOL GRADES
HSS
High Speed Steel Tooling
Produced entirely in HSS, ground with a very fine
edge. Suitable only for non-abrasive materials, but will give a
superior finish in soft timbers. Slightly less expensive than TCT,
but is more suitable for certain applications i.e. drilling or cutting
non-abrasive timbers & plastics.
Our range of drilling tools
include: twist drills, dowel
drills, countersinks,
counterbores, plug makers,
machine bits and forstner bits.

TCT
Tungsten Carbide Tipped Tooling
Tips are brazed onto a steel body. For use with the
most abrasive materials and will outlast HSS tooling by many times.
Applications include cutting or drilling natural timbers, plywood,
medium density fibre board, chipboard and abrasive plastics.
Grades and sizes are geared to satisfy the
demanding needs of the building industry,
joinery trades and workshops.
High quality and performance are the prime
considerations in the design of o our tooling which
is manufactured using the latest technology.
WS
Carbon Steel Tooling
g
Less durable than HSS, WS is extensively used in
the production of forstner and countersink tooling for use on natural
timbers. Offers a cost effective solution for many applications.
