Optimization of Cutting Tools

Drillmasters helps you get the most out of your tools and significantly extend their lifetime. With extensive expertise in materials, coatings, and cutting parameters, we provide advanced optimization services designed to enhance machinability, increase tool durability, and ensure maximum process stability.

Our experienced engineers work closely with your production team to evaluate machining conditions, analyze tool wear patterns, and identify opportunities for improvement. Based on these insights, we recommend the ideal coating solutions, such as TiN, TiAlN, AlCrN, AlTiN, AlTiSiN, TiAlN, TiSiXN or diamond, to enhance performance in specific applications. We also fine-tune tool designs to achieve better chip evacuation, reduced heat generation, improved cutting speeds, and superior surface finishes.

Drillmasters is specialized in controlled cutting-edge rounding of drills and end mills. By precisely optimizing the edge radius, cutting forces are reduced, edge stability is improved, and micro-chipping is minimized. This results in significantly extended tool life, more stable machining processes, and an improved surface finish of the machined components.

In addition, solid carbide drills and end mills that are reground by Drillmasters and subsequently recoated by our qualified coating partners often return to production with performance characteristics that surpass those of new tools. By applying targeted geometric modifications, surface optimizations, and precisely controlled cutting-edge rounding, we are able to further improve cutting behavior and wear resistance. Customer feedback confirms tool life increases of up to 30%, leading to enhanced process stability, higher productivity, and a reduced cost per part.

By combining technical know-how with practical, application-based experience, Drillmasters delivers tailored solutions that boost productivity, reduce costs, and elevate the overall efficiency of your machining operations. Whether you aim to optimize a single process or improve your entire tooling strategy, we provide the guidance and support needed to achieve consistent, measurable results.
