New Sphinx Quadro Plus Drill Reamer Line
Available Standard, Features Two Extra Cutting Edges
ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL - BIG Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc. now offers a full line of stock standard Sphinx Quadro Plus high performance drill reamers. The reamers are available in metric diameters from 3mm (0.118") to 20 mm (0.787") in two lengths - 6 times diameter without internal coolant or 12 times diameter coolant-fed.
These standard drills were designed for use in aluminum, graphite and other non-ferrous materials. Applications may also include gray and ductile cast iron, and malleable iron after a modification of the drill point geometry is made.
The new Quadro Plus is a rigid, high productivity, solid carbide drill reamer designed to hold tight diameters in the H7 tolerance range or better. The drills are designed to achieve optimum bore straightness and roundness.
The Sphinx Quadro drill reamer was introduced to the U.S. market in 1998, but was only available as a custom-made tool. It featured two cutting edges and four margins for centering, drilling and reaming in one operation.
The new Quadro Plus adds two additional reaming edges for 6 effective margins. It delivers a ream quality surface finish of RA 0.4µ (16rms) that eliminates the need for subsequent finish reaming.
The sub-micron carbide grade of this tool combines high hardness with high transverse rupture strength. It creates a unique chip form that is easily evacuated from the boring hole. The standard Quadro Plus is uncoated; available upon request are Balzer's Futura (TiAlN) or Balzer's Hardlube coatings.
Sphinx, based in Biberist, Switzerland, with an additional manufacturing facility in Porrentruy, was founded in 1876 and received the original Swiss patent for a twist drill in 1897. Sphinx produces 1,200,000 different drills; many are custom specials including about 1,200 different standard drills.
