ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL—BIG Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc. introduces the Phoenix Drill, the newest dimension to the Sphinx product line. The heavy-duty, solid carbide Phoenix Drill helps achieve up to 100 times more productivity than with conventional solid carbide counterparts.

The Phoenix Drill’s specially-designed flute and point geometry assure low cutting forces and optimum chip control. Internal coolant for diameters starting at 2.5mm makes the Phoenix Drill ideal for cutting extra-hard materials such as steel, stainless steel and cast iron, and other non-ferrous metals. Its ultra-fine grain composition delivers increased wear resistance and toughness for superior speeds and feeds.

Phoenix Drill’s smooth Balzer’s coating assures high wear resistance and optimizes chip evacuation, resulting in longer tool life.

The standard range of Phoenix drills are available from 1mm up to 4mm in steps of 0.1mm. Drill depth is 6x diameter.

Based in Derendingen, Switzerland, Sphinx received the original Swiss patent for a twist drill in 1897. Sphinx produces approximately 1,200 standard drills and as many as 1,200,000 different drills including their custom lines.
