ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL—BIG Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc. introduces the newest addition to its high-performance Sphinx Quadro Plus drill line. With its specially-designed point geometry, Quadro 15 PLUS is ideal for cutting stainless steel, steel, cast iron and other non-ferrous metals.

The sophisticated engineering behind the Quadro 15 PLUS makes it ultra-rigid, requiring less cutting force and increasing feeds and speeds. Quadro 15 PLUS can drill up to 50 percent faster and can hold close tolerances, achieving a hole quality of H7 or better.

Quadro 15 PLUS maximizes productivity by eliminating the need for subsequent finish operations, delivering a quality surface finish of Ra 0.8 µ (32rms). Balzer’s Futura Nano Top TiAIN Coating optimizes chip evacuation, increases wear resistance and results in longer tool life.

These carbide drills are made from ultra fine grain carbide and available in diameters from 4mm (.157”) to 20mm (.787”) in standard length of 6 times diameter with coolant through. Based on the highly successful Quadro Plus drill geometry of Sphinx, the new 15 degree helix angle makes them suitable for drilling long chipping materials like steel as well as cast iron.

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.
