BIG DAISHOWA has expanded its drilling portfolio with the introduction of the Sphinx Drinox Pilot Step Drill in a 3×D configuration. The newly added tool features an advanced design aimed at significantly improving performance, offering up to three times longer tool life, increased coolant-through efficiency, and faster drilling compared to conventional solutions.
The Sphinx Drinox Pilot Step Drill is available in diameters ranging from 0.70 mm to 3.00 mm, with intermediate size options offered in 0.05 mm increments. The tool incorporates several design enhancements aimed at improving precision and performance.
- Coolant-through channels. The coolant-through pilot drill features a power chamber in the shank to maximize the coolant output, ensuring a steady flow even with lower coolant pump performances.
- TiSiN coating. The newly developed ultra-thin coating ensures high tool sharpness, improving chip removal and preventing material from sticking.
- Proven high-performance geometry. The 90° cutting step and tool head are based on the geometry of proven high-performance tools, which perform exceptionally well in stainless steels, titanium and heat-resistant Ni or Co alloys.
“For those looking to gain an edge in high-stakes drilling applications, the Drinox is the way to go,” says Alan Miller, senior manager engineering. “Sphinx has been a trusted partner for years, and this new release reinforces their reputation for quality and performance.”
