Emuge Corp. recently announced the North American debut of its line of high-performance solid carbide drills. The new Emuge EF series drills incorporate special geometry, proprietary carbide grades and a PVD coating design. The result is three to five times faster penetration rate than conventional carbide and cobalt drills, in addition to high-quality threads and longer tool life.

“We are excited to roll out this major introduction to the U.S. and Canadian marketplace,” said Bob Hellinger, president of Emuge Corp.  “It makes perfect sense for Emuge to have a drill product line to complement our leading line of taps and thread mills and it provides our customers the best holemaking solutions for their tapping applications.”

 In addition to the drill line introduction, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015, Emuge will be offering complete grinding/reconditioning services for all drill products at their West Boylston, MA facility.

The EF solid carbide drills, engineered and made by Emuge in Germany, feature a double-margin flute design for added stability and rounder/straighter holes. A unique flute construction enables improved chip evaluation, and a self-centering design allows drilling in one shot, eliminating peck cycles and pre-spot operations. Emuge drills are made of a sub-micron grain carbide grade for increased abrasion resistance and durability, and a multi-layer PVD coating resists chipping/cracking for longer tool life.
