Flat Bottom Drills - stock available, customs to order
We offer a proprietary design flat bottom drill with and without coolant through capability. Solid carbide with and without coating. The bits are custom made from solid carbide and excellent chip evacuation as they drill, minimizing burring and leaving a smooth finish. This eliminates the need for a finishing pass after drilling.
These tools are great for spot facing, and drilling inclined, curved, and interrupted surfaces.
We will soon list stock drills in our webstore at www.ekstromcarlson.shop, but contact us for your needs as required.
