What Our Customers Are Saying
Hear what our customers are saying about Ekstrom Carlson step drill and service.
"A HUGE difference in cutting tool temps..."
"The assembly complete comes a pound or so lighter than my PC router was. A HUGE difference in cutting tool temps as well. The PC router bearings and motor sure put a LOT of heat into the tool. This alone is going to make plastic cutting SO much better."

"Much longer tool life with Ekstrom Carlson... "
"Much longer tool life with Ekstrom Carlson and less load on the
motor. We cut more than 150 slots and the tool did not show any signs of wear where the HSS tool we
tried (by another manufacturer) dulled and loaded the motor down after 100 slots."
