TCT Magnetic Drill Bits (Core Cutters) (12mm – 130mm): Powerful Drilling Solution for Hard Materials
Magnetic drill bits are special drill bits used in drilling operations that remove chips in a circular shape. These bits are also known as “core bits.” Thanks to their ring-shaped chip removal, it is not necessary to remove all the chips for the hole to be drilled, which makes it possible to create large holes with little power. Additionally, holes can be drilled directly into solid material without the need for pilot holes. These types of bits are preferred, especially in steel construction work, to save time and prevent workers from becoming excessively fatigued.
An important element that must be used with these wires is the use of an appropriate coolant. Boron oil can be an ideal option to increase the efficiency of the cutting process. Boron oil can be obtained by thoroughly mixing 1 liter of boron oil with a 5-gallon jug of water. Cutting fluid can also be used as a coolant, but this option can be more expensive and may not be easily cleaned after drilling.
The TCT magnetic drill bit is ideal for drilling hard materials such as ST52 and Hardox. It also enables successful drilling of stainless steel materials. However, these bits are harder and more durable than HSS drill bits and should be used on harder materials. TCT bits can be resharpened a maximum of 3 times, meaning the number of resharpening operations is limited. Although not highly preferred due to their price and limited resharpening capabilities, they are essential drill bits that must be used for hard materials and special applications like train rails.
In conclusion, TCT magnetic drill bits offer an indispensable solution for powerful and effective drilling in hard materials. These specialized bits are widely used in various applications within the construction and industrial sectors. With the right coolant and drill bit selection, it is possible to maximize the benefits of magnetic core drills.
