At Valor Holemaking, we know that drilling stainless steel and titanium isn’t just difficult, it’s one of the most demanding challenges manufacturers face. These materials are unforgiving, known for their toughness, low thermal conductivity, and tendency to work harden, which often result in significantly reduced tool life. Before releasing Valor Holemaking’s High Performance Drills for […]
Two of the most frequently recurring operations across a variety of applications are CNC drilling and countersinking. Since these two processes are often interdependent, managing space in the tool crib and time lost on tool changes can become cumbersome when using dedicated tools for each operation. Using combined drill and countersinks eliminates these concerns and […]
When it comes to achieving precision in CNC drilling applications, the choice of tools and techniques can make a significant difference in the outcome. One essential element that often doesn’t get the spotlight it deserves is the Pilot Drill. This blog post will explore the importance of pilot drills, their applications, and best practices for […]
Selecting the proper drill for a specific application is essential to ensuring a successful cnc drilling job. Achieving a perfectly machined hole can often be challenging. There are many machining woes that can occur when drilling into a material. These can greatly affect hole quality, and regardless of the material being machined, there is often […]
When browsing Titan USA’s selection of available drill bits, you may come across descriptions like “Type B,” “Type C,” or “Type J.” The following will serve to explain the origins of these designations and what each “Type” means; information that will help you when selecting the optimal drill bit for your operation. Origin of Drill […]
A CNC drill has many different features and geometries that directly impact the tool’s performance, productivity, and tool life in the specific material it’s machining. It is important to understand the different geometries of a drill to ensure you’re not only recognizing how they affect an application, but also which geometries you should be looking […]
