Allied Machine adds longer length holders to APX drilling line
10xD holders for larger diameters available as standard product.
Allied Machine and Engineering, a leading manufacturer of holemaking and finishing cutting tools for the metal-cutting industry, announces the addition of 10xD APX drill bodies for 76, 83, 89 and 95 series. This addition covers a diameter range of 2.9918 inches to 4.0000 inches (76.00 millimeters - 101.60 millimeters). Offering these 10xD bodies as a standard product allows customers to extend their drilling capabilities beyond the previous standard product offering of 8xD.
With the strength and versatility that the APX drill provides, these additional drill bodies can be used for any application requiring large diameters with deep holes; however, the 10xD length holders are an ideal solution for the oil and gas industry in components such as frac blocks.
Not only does the APX drill, which is designed to increase penetration rates and tool life, provide the lowest cost per hole among deep hole drilling lines, but this addition gives customers an on-the-shelf solution at larger diameters and longer depths—a solution that is often a special for other manufacturers.
