AMG Forming Drill is a specialized drill that creates precise, burr-free holes without producing chips, making it ideal for thin sheets and ductile materials. Its unique design plastically deforms the workpiece, providing smooth surfaces and consistent hole sizes.
No chips, reducing cleanup and tool wear
High-quality, burr-free holes
Fast drilling speeds for thin/soft materials
Extends tool life and improves hole consistency
Sheet metal manufacturing
Aerospace components
Automotive body panels
Electronics enclosures
Lightweight aluminum or copper parts
Q1: What is a Forming Drill?
A: A Forming Drill creates holes by plastically deforming material instead of cutting, producing burr-free, chipless holes.
Q2: What materials can it drill?
A: Best for aluminum, copper, soft steel, ductile alloys, and thin sheet metal.
Q3: How is it different from conventional drills?
A: Conventional drills cut and generate chips; Forming Drills displace material, reducing cleanup and extending tool life.
Q4: What sizes are available?
A: Cutting diameters from 2mm to 20mm, shank sizes 3mm to 12mm, overall lengths 50mm to 150mm, with custom options available.
Q5: Can it be used on CNC machines?
A: Yes, it is suitable for CNC machining, high-speed sheet metal drilling, and automated production lines.
