Allied Machine Offers Polycrystalline Diamond Insert for T-A® Drill

Allied Machine & Engineering, a leading manufacturer of holemaking and finishing tooling systems, introduces its Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) T-A Drill inserts, designed for drilling in carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP), used in lightweight aircraft wings and fuselages, and other highly abrasive substances.

Developed to meet the needs of a major American aircraft manufacturer when the company began using CFRP for wings and fuselages nearly a decade ago, the PCD T-A inserts are industry-proven to lead the market in reliability and cutting efficiency.

Key Features

Standard T-A Drill insert with PCD wafers installed at the insert’s cutting edge
Replaceable tip design, allowing users to replace only the tip of the tool when it has worn out
PCD inserts can withstand strong and highly abrasive materials like CFRP-Titanium stacks, aluminum, titanium, copper, magnesium, fiberglass, and chipboard, which are frequently used in the aerospace and automotive industries
